Napa Valley in the Summertime

7/18/2016

 
Sure, fall has harvest and spring sees the newest vines, but summer is when life really gets rolling in Napa, for locals and visitors alike!
Picture
Summer ushers in long sunshine-filled days and temperatures well into the 80’s at times. Perfect for outdoor tasting, picnics, and trips to nearby lakes, rivers, and, of course, pools. Interestingly, summer is also Napa's wettest season, with about 11 inches of rain. This keeps travel through the valley exciting  and is just one more reason to trust A&W to navigate the road while you sit back and enjoy the views.

Looking for more than just wine tasting? Again, summer is the season for you. There are plenty of art, food, music and cultural festivals enticing crowds of young and old, families and couples, and even canine companions. A few worth checking out:
