Cabernet Season in Napa Valley

Cabernet Season is Cozy Season

Napa Valley Cabernet Season logo

From mid-fall to spring, visitors come to Napa Valley to enjoy Cabernet Season^®

The mild winter in Napa Valley is often referred to as Cabernet Season – not only is it the time that our Cabernets are quietly becoming brilliant in barrels, it’s also a quiet and less-hurried time for cozy retreats, hearty fare, and of course, that world-class wine!

A slower pace and atmosphere emerges, creating personal experiences and a chance to explore all the culture (and Cabernet) the valley has to offer. It’s also an opportunity to take advantage of special offers on accommodations and unique deals via winery “passports.”
