We've planned a girls trip to Napa, CA and can't find a single thing to do that doesn't revolve around wine. None of us drink. Aren't there any other tours, event, classes, etc?
Anyone live there that can help?
thank you!

Well I'm sure there is good food and shopping. I can't point to any because my info is a long time ago. I wonder why did you chose it originally.

OK -- sure there are things that aren't wine-centric like anywhere else. Spas, shopping, dining, hiking, farmers markets . . . but why would one choose Napa and pay the very high hotel rates they charge (which they can charge because of the vineyards/wineries) if one isn't the least interested in wines???

The Culinary Institute of America has two 'campuses'... Napa and St. Helena. I think single classes are only offered in Napa, but you can tour and shop at both.

You can go for a hot air balloon ride out of Yountville.

Bike tours, horseback riding...

If you like Victorian houses, my wife (Victorian fanatic) & I spent about 2 hrs walking around Napa 2 weeks ago visiting about 20 of them that I found on Google.

This might help also.

Have you looked into Airbnb Experiences? I haven't done any of them but I believe they operate on the same kind of "sharing" principle as the original accommodations platform they started as.

Or this guide platform.

Some are wine. But some not.

Honestly I do also question why Napa if it is not for being in wine country. That said, aren't there spas, hiking, biking, cooking classes, historical tours? Love the horseback riding and hot air balloon ideas. Or pick a different destination that has more of whatever your interests are available?

But I can see how y'all said "WHY?"

Well, I am 1-1/2 hrs from Napa, so it's a quick getaway place.
It's beautiful. Gorgeous drive from where I live too.
Timeshare - so free lodging.
It's started to become a yearly tradition for my girl group.

I love the idea of checking out the Victorians and taking a cooking class so will check those out.
There are some very good suggestions here and I'm going to go explore them.

Thank you all! Sorry to be so obtuse

"Well, I am 1-1/2 hrs from Napa, so it's a quick getaway place.

Are you in Sacramento / the Central Valley??

I was going to suggest Bodega Bay or Mendocino or someplace else . . . UNTIL. I read "Timeshare - so free lodging." That make all the difference in the world Is it a large property with a concierge? If so they would likely be able to hook you up with local tours, walks, etc. For shopping there is the Petaluma Outlets about 45 minutes away. Armstrong Redwoods state park is maybe a 90 minute drive. There are 2 or 3 hot springs/spas in Calistoga. If you are so inclined there is the Grafton Casino in Rohnert Park with name entertainment but their concerts tend to sell out far in advance.

I will check with the concierge - I hadn't even thought of that! Thanks!!

Our kids have friends in Napa and visit often. Their house is in the middle of the Rombauer vineyard and a gift they brought me was a facsimile edition of the original Joy of Cooking. It is a fun Art Deco book. If you're a foodie you might enjoy looking for that.

yes, I'm a foodie and baker. Joy of Cooking Art Deco style? Sounds intriguing. Your kids are lucky to have such friends

I think we are all so used to seing the big book editions of Joy of Cooking this was a surprise. This is it with its Art Deco look

OK. That makes more sense now free lodging and you live nearby!
