Ever wish you knew someone who could show you the secrets of Napa Valley? Someone who knew the best places to stay, the best wineries to visit, the best places to eat, and where to find all the free discount wine tasting coupons? Well guess what? Your wish just got granted!
Hi, I'm Local Wally and I know Napa. I was lucky enough to grow up near here and have spent the last 30 years learning the secrets of how to plan a successful Napa Valley vacation. If it's good, it's here. If it's not, it's not!
Unlike other guides with endless lists of "recommendations", I'll cut to the chase and show you the Best of Napa. You don't need a list of every winery, just the ones you should visit. And who needs a list of every hotel when you can get a list of the best places to stay, from best budget to best spa resort. And doesn't a list of the best places to eat in Napa sound better than a list of every restaurant in town? That's what Local Wally is all about.
Best yet, when it's time to Book a Hotel you get the Local Wally Best Rate Guarantee. You won't find a cheaper rate for Napa Valley hotels, period. And discount wine tasting coupons are a click away, no hassle, no gimmicks.
So why risk your vacation with advice from the big tourist books or corporate websites that only recommend their advertisers? Trust the locals to give you the real deal, and trust Local Wally to show you the tips that only insiders know!

Wally News
SPRING 2012: The bright yellow mustard plants, the vines starting to bud, and best yet, fewer crowds make this one of the best times to visit Napa. It certainly is my favorite time to go.
I've updated all the FREE COUPONS that you can print from home. And don't forget to spend a day in Sonoma where the tastings are often free the vibe more laid back.
If you like my site, please book your hotel through me and support my sponsors. And yes, you can even email me if you have questions. How cool is that?
Cheers!!
