Summer in Wine Country

Sonoma County vacation rentals and attractions are calling your name; have you packed your bags yet? It’s time to explore a few great activities, places, and more. Check it all out below.   

Attractions of the Area

Before you check out some great Wine Country vacation homes, consider these attractions for your summer trip: the Annual Citrus Fair, the 1-hour hot air balloons offered by Napa Valley Balloons, the Ashes and Diamonds Winery tours and displays, the Hess art collection and the Oxbow Public Market. 

The Citrus Fair features floating parades, kids’ pageants, Cabaret performances, carnival rides, family games and competitions (for real prizes), a petting zoo, and photo exhibitions. So don’t miss any of the fun! 

With a hot air balloon ride at Napa Valley Balloons, you can try something new and conquer your individual or collective fear of heights (for anywhere between $189 and $239). 

Ashes and Diamonds has you covered for winery tours. Come in Friday evenings (6-9) and the tours are about $30 a person. They also host annual Q&As that feature speakers, winemaking expert teams and so much more. 

Don’t miss the world-famous Hess Collection, including exhibits from Robert Rauschenberg, Magdalena Abakanowicz, Andy Goldsworthy, and several others. Enjoy a guided tour while tasting world-class wines on stunning Mount Veeder during your visit to Napa.

If you also enjoy downtown farmer’s markets and artisan shops, you’ll love the Oxbow Public Market as it has 40,000 square feet of public space with booths, pop-up shops, and even a food hall.  

Beautiful Summer Weather

Wine Country will promise to make you fall in love with summer all over again, and in a way you never have before — the summer weather here is perfect for both outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. 

You can enjoy plentiful sunshine, positive vibes, a warm and gentle breeze, and perfectly green grass from May through August. The weather stays nice and pleasant most of the year, but summer is truly a perfect time to visit Napa and often cooler than other parts of the country yet warm enough to invite you outdoors.
