How to Plan a Bachelorette Party, Corporate Event or Large Group Wine Tasting Event in Napa - 2026
There was a time in Napa when a big group was about as welcome as a swarm of locusts but times have changed. Today you can find plenty of wineries willing to not only take your large group but some will even honor the Priority Wine Pass for 2 for 1 discounts.
I’ve updated and listed every winery on the Priority Wine Pass that takes groups and offers a 2 for 1 discount so you can just buy the passes and make reservations. And if you’re coming with a corporate group, bachelorette party or any other group that requires a bit more attention, you know what to do - email me for FREE event planning!
I found Wally's site after spending hours upon hours researching an upcoming trip to Napa Valley, and thank goodness I did! I was quickly learning that large groups can be tricky at wineries, and without Wally's help, I don't know that we would have been able to plan a successful trip. Thank you so much, Wally, for all your patience and assistance!

wineries that offer 2 for 1 discounts for large groups with wine pass
👍 Highly Recommended 🔥 Top Pick 🤑 Great Deal
GROUP TASTING ROOM ETIQUETTE: Because groups are often labor intensive to the tasting room if you have non-drinkers you should let the winery know ahead of time. No splitting of tastings and everyone should have their own glass. Make sure you tip your server on the full amount of tastings, not the discounted 2 for 1 price. And encourage your group to purchase wine if you like what you are tasting.

Beringer, 2 for $35 - cave tour tasting
