How Expensive is it to Wine Taste in Napa 2023?

Local Wally

Thinking about coming to Napa Valley in 2023? Wondering how expensive it’s going to be? Here’s a quick overview of what a trip to Napa will cost.

Hotels: You can spend a small fortune, literally thousands of dollars on a hotel room in Napa. But for most people a good solid hotel is about $350 to $400 a night. For this price figure you’ll be in something like an Embassy Suites or perhaps my favorite moderate, the River Terrace Inn.

COST FOR 2 NIGHTS: $800

Wine Tasting: Most wineries are charging $35 to $50 pp these days. Figure 4 wineries per day and a couple can easily run up $300 to $400 in tasting fees. You can cut these costs by getting Priority Wine Pass for $39.99 per couple using my discount link. Use it to get two for one or discount deals. Using the pass will drop your tasting fees down to $150 to $200 per couple, plus the cost of the pass. The pass is good for a full year and good in Napa and Sonoma. Here are all of the deals on the pass.

COST FOR 2 DAYS OF WINE TASTINGS USING THE PRIORITY WINE PASS: $350 to $450

Dining Out: I like casual breakfasts with good coffee, like breakfast at the Model Bakery where $15 will get you one of the best English Muffin sandwiches and a great cup of coffee. For lunch I like to just get some bread and cheese and do casual picnics or eat in the car on the way to my next stop - figure $10. For dinner budget around $120 per couple which includes your meal and alcoholic beverages.

COST FOR DINING FOR 2 DAYS: $320

Drivers: The days of sipping and driving are long gone. Uber isn’t a great option in Napa as cell service can get spotty if you leave the main highway, and trying to catch an Uber to be on time to your next winery is just too stressful for me. Instead, hire a driver - figure a basic driver will be about $350 to $400 per day. I know, that sounds like a lot but it’s much cheaper than a DUI.

COST FOR A DRIVER FOR 2 DAYS: $800

Trip Planning: Putting this all together can be confusing and time consuming. Some services are charging $100 to $500 to help you plan your trip but if you buy a Priority Wine Pass you get free concierge service from me - totally honest and unbiased advice on how to put together your ultimate Napa or Sonoma wine tasting trip.
