The Napa Valley lights up with holiday happenings during the month of December. Given that it’s also the height of the region's Cabernet season, it’s the perfect time of year for a visit.
The CIA at Copia offers a wide range of classes, including Pies & Tarts for the Holiday, Unrivaled Hors d’oeuvres, Family Funday, Gifts from the Kitchen, and Bubbles for Every Occasion. They also have a spectacular holiday marketplace - a perfect stop on your way in or out when you need to knock a few gifts off your list.

Yountville sparkles especially brightly this time of year. You can enjoy a leisurely stroll downtown, taking in the thousands of twinkling holiday lights while exploring shops, tasting rooms, restaurants and hotels. Other fun activities include carriage rides through town, holiday movies, wreath making classes, gourmet food & wine walking tours, and holiday cooking and cocktail classes at numerous tasting rooms.
Calistoga shines brightly as well. On the first weekend of December, the city holds the Calistoga Holiday Village and Christmas Faire. You can stroll through downtown Calistoga and indulge in a holiday shopping spree before enjoying a community tree lighting, listening to traditional carols, and tasting Calistoga Cabernets paired with fresh gingerbread cookies.
Also on the first weekend in December is the 7th Annual Reindeer Run. This is one way to burn off some of those cookies and cabernet. Even better, the run benefits KHOPE International, a local non-profit supporting children living in poverty here and abroad. The family-friendly three- and six and half mile run begins and ends at the Wetlands Edge View Area Trailhead in American Canyon. Learn more and sign up here.
