Few other tidbits to wrap up the night.
Here’s a pretty good site for calendars of things to do. It’s worth a consult if you’re coming down this way.

If you’re looking to do something other than swish, slosh, slurp and spit (wine), take some time to walk around the old neighborhoods of Napa, especially spring into summer. Some great gardens and a terrific array of architecturally styled homes. Right out of somebody’s old days.
Copia, by the way, the Mondavi family homage to the valley and its products – and no doubt to themselves, just a bit – is worth a visit. Especially, for my money – because it does cost to get in, the gardens out front and across the street. They’re growing up and beautiful. And edible. Check them out.
Here’s the site:

And, really, don’t drink and drive. Make sure someone’s designated to haul you around should you choose to sample for the better part of a day.
