By now, harvest season is in full swing. Vineyard leaves are starting to turn and the temperatures are beginning to cool. October is around the corner and with it the chance to don your spookiest costume and celebrate Halloween in the Napa Valley. All Hallows Eve offers another chance to break out some great food, wine, and other adult beverages, but with an extra kick from the spirits of the great beyond.

Here are a few of the Halloween festivities planned for 2019.
