🍂 Family Fun in Napa Valley: The Best Things to Do This Season

Experience Napa Beyond the Vineyards
When most people think “Napa Valley,” they picture vineyards, wine tastings, and fine dining. But for locals and families, there’s a whole other side to explore - one filled with outdoor adventures, small-town charm, and memory-making experiences for all ages.
Whether you’re looking for weekend plans or visiting loved ones this fall, here are some of our favorite ways to enjoy Napa Valley together.
🎃 Visit Local Farms & Fall Festivals
-
Stanly Lane Pumpkin Patch (Napa): A seasonal favorite offering pumpkins of every shape and size, hayrides, and photo ops with a vineyard backdrop.
-
Connolly Ranch: Kids can meet farm animals, explore the garden, and take part in educational nature programs.
-
Napa Farmers Market: Open year-round, it’s perfect for fresh produce, local crafts, and Saturday morning treats.
Pro Tip: Bring a tote - the market is full of local makers, and your kids will love the baked goods tent!

-
Napa Valley Vine Trail: Rent bikes or walk the trail that connects Napa to Yountville - great for strollers, scooters, and family picnics.
