So you have a weekend off with no emails to be sent or projects to catch up on.

‍

Why not head to Napa? It’s easy an affordable flight to Sacramento airport where you can rent a car on-site. From Sacramento, it’s a short one-hour and twenty-minute drive into Napa, the stunning gem of California.

Don’t drink wine? Don’t let that detour you. Napa has evolved far beyond vineyards and grapes.
