WINE TASTE & MORE WITH YOUR SPECIAL SOMEONE
There are dozens of tasting rooms in Downtown Napa, and Housley Napa is one not to miss. For more than 47 years, Housley has called Napa its home and produced many award-winning wines, plus it was named one of the best tasting rooms to have a glass of wine. As if the wine doesn’t have enough star power, you may also recognize owner Tamera Darvette Mowry-Housley from her roles on “Sister, Sister” and her own daytime talk show, “The Real.”
Downtown Napa is, of course, known for excellent wine, but family-owned Napa Valley Distillery is proof that we really do offer something magical for everyone. Napa Valley Distillery is the first distillery in the City of Napa since Prohibition, so when you stop by their tasting bar inside the Oxbow Public Market, you’ll feel like you’re stepping back in time with one of their small-batch spirits. If romance is what you’re looking for, there’s a lot of love in every bottle.
Looking for something unique? Great entertainment always makes a great wine pairing. Performance artist Juliano Wade and violinist Brianna Amr will be performing throughout the evening on Valentine’s Day between 7 and 10 PM at Be Bubbly. Tickets include a welcome glass of Leflaive Brut Rose Champagne.
