About Napa County

Tan Weddings & Events understands the allure of the Napa Wine Country Region. There's romance in the air, scented with vineyards and grapes. You'll hear words like sauvignon blanc and terroir, and you are transported to someplace exotic. Then you'll taste an award-winning wine and wish you were a vintner yourself. But most of all, you'll fall in love. Yes, with the region. But if you are am engaged couple, you'll definitely be swept up by the notion of saying your "I do's" here!

We love the magic of Napa County so we've put together this page for your perusing pleasure to discover what Napa County is all about and entice you into choosing us for your elopement or wedding. See napavalley.com and visitnapavalley.com for more information.

Our Perfect Trip to Napa Valley

​Drive up in the morning, shop for spices & wine and then lunch (and often dessert!) at the many offerings at Oxbow Public Market. A stroll through downtown Napa, trip to visit the latest contemporary art at the Di Rosa, followed by a nap and dinner at Copia. Staying the night at Carneros Resort is always a treat, and we make it a priority to have at least one fabulous farm-to-table meal on site at The Farm and enjoy the spa services. 
 
Our second day, we trek up to St. Helena for wine tasting at one of the many hidden gems in Spring Mountain. Lunch at Farmstead is a steadfast favorite, followed by shopping along the main street. Dinner and a night's stay at Harvest Inn brings the old world European charm. 
 
Our third day, we wake up bright and early, because it is time to head to our favorite little corner of the valley -- Calistoga! Hiking at Robert Louis Stevenson State Park, puts us in the mood for lunch at our most favorite Sam's Social Club, a private wine tasting at Knightsbridge (call early to set this up!), a massage and mud bath at Golden Haven Hot Springs, and a well-deserved nap! Dinner is a treat at Solbar, followed by a stay at the historic, private, beautiful Brannan Cottage Inn.
 
Before heading home, we grab breakfast at Bella Bakery, visit shops along Lincoln Ave. grab some chocolates to take home for the kids from Earth & Sky, and grab some wines from W.H. Smith Wines. If we have a bit of extra time, we'll stop to have a late lunch at Brix in Napa https://www.brix.com/, or at Bottega at the Vintage Estate in Yountville.
