Spring time in Napa Valley (March, April & May):Personally, I think March is the most beautiful time of year in Napa Valley. All of the trees are blooming with pink and white blossoms and the yellow mustard is sprinkled all over the Napa Valley. It's just gorgeous here in the spring. The weather is it's most erratic at this time of year when packing can be a pain. It can be a warm as 80 degrees one week and as cold as 40 degrees the next or raining in between. In any case, it's still gorgeous just a little goofy for planning on what to wear. As for the hotel and bed & breakfast room rates they are still low until the middle of April at around 30% less than high season.
Summer time in Napa (June, July & August):So much fun and a lot to do during this time of year. Veraison (a French term) is when the grapes are "full grown" and changing color on the vines. The restaurants and wine bars are hopping, the Chef's Market is in full swing. The Farmer's Market at the Oxbow will launch this year to much hullabaloo. The weather is, at it's lowest around 70 degrees but through much of the summer in weekly stints it can be as high as 105 in late July. Except for exceptionally hot days, it will cool off at night to the high 60s. In June, sometimes the morning fog won't burn off until noon. But last year we barely had any, so we could get lucky again this year. Hotel and Bed & Breakfast room rates are at their highest or almost at this time of year. The weather is fabulous and fun for wine tasting however, try to drink the red wines before it gets too hot.
