Vineyard Experiencing Bud break, small green blooms appear on the vines
April in Napa Valley is ideal!  The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and the vines are waking up after winter. This glorious moment is known as bud break, when the vines glow in a neon green hue with fresh new leaves. You can expect warm days and cooler nights during lush April.  Join us for a getaway this April, and enjoy some of the amazing events we have planned!
