Napa - Things to Do & Tourist Attractions

Tourists can have an aerial view of the valley and its surroundings from the Balloon Flights which are an hour-long ride and takes up to 3,000 feet in the air. The Bear Republic Brewing Company has their vintage vineyards and endless wineries which can be viewed on a tour through the establishment. The visitors are also treated with seasonal attractions like karaoke evenings, barbeques and beer tastings at the beer garden. Enjoy a cruise along the Napa River for some adventure on the way. The Californian wildlife and its treasure of unique birds are best seen through a quite cruise across the river. For beach lovers, the Sonoma Coast State features sunny beaches that are just an hour's drive away from Napa. The huge theme park at the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is an extremely popular attraction with both the kids as well as adults.

Many of these attractions are located at a walking distance from the Napa luxury hotels or the Napa four star hotels. With so many vineyards and wineries in Napa, it's hard to tour all of them but several ones offer internal tours with their own guides which are very knowledgeable about the particular vineyard or winery. Popular historic landmarks in the city include the Domaine Carneros which have now become an icon for the Napa Valley. Guided tours are available on request through the chateau that offers more than just endless picturesque views. Visit the Bale Grist Mill that is the biggest water wheel in America and stands as one of the most important landmark in the Napa Valley. The Old Town in the city is standing the test of times since the 1840s and has many ancient architectural houses and a magnificent central marketplace. The Old Faithful Geyser of California has nothing to do with the Yellowstone National Park but is simply a geyser with a timer erupting hot water every half an hour and is a popular local landmark.

The region is a lively bunch of interesting museums to please the visitors like the Hand Fan Museum, Healdsburg Museum and Historical Society, Napa Valley Museum, Petaluma Wildlife and Natural Science Museum, Sonoma County Museum and many more. The Bothe Napa Valley State Park is an important historical ruin of the surroundings. Tourists can also enjoy a safari at the Safari West Wildlife Preserve or enjoy horseback riding and mountain biking at the Skyline Wilderness Park.
