If you like wine caves, goto Del dotto in rutherford. They have 3 wineries, but this is my best. Tasting fee per person is high at $80, but you do get food after. Great high end wines, if you are a Cabernet lover like myself.

Consejos para los viajeros
Reserva antes de marcharte
Book your wine tastings in advance , even if its 2 people.
Make sure to book your wine tastings in advance. Last min calls are thing of the past in napa and Sonoma main wineries.
Viajar con niños
Most wineries don’t allow kids, check first.
Check with the winery if they allow kids at the property while you enjoy wines inside
Reserva antes de marcharte
Start wine tours at 10 am vs 11 or 12am
Leave house at 9:30 am and skip the morning traffic. Time flies at wineries, so suggest you start your day early as all wineries close at 5pm and you need time for lunch and snacks.
Costumbres y cultura
No strong perfumes at tastings
You are handsome and beautiful, suggest not putting on strong Cologne or perfumes during wine tasting. Wines are about the olfactory.
