Napa Neighbor Week: Special Offers For Wine Country Residents

NAPA VALLEY, CA — Napa Valley Vintners announced an opportunity for locals to experience all that Napa Valley wine country has to offer.

During the week of Jan. 19-28, the popular Napa Neighbor program goes the extra mile with 52 Napa Neighbor Week special offers. While many wineries have year-round offers for Napa County residents, additional perks were created for the January celebration, Napa Valley Vintners said in a news release.

The program was created in 2001 as a way to connect with locals and offer something special to those who live here. A listing of Napa Neighbor Week offers is posted on the Napa Valley Vintners website. For example, B Cellars in Oakville is offering a private food and wine pairing experience where Napa neighbors are greeted with a welcome bite and wine, given a tour of the production facility and wine cave, and then seated in the hospitality house for three small bites paired with four wines.

In total during Napa Neighbor Week, there are 27 two-for-one tastings, 14 complimentary tastings and five special wine buys.

Some offers are extended to Sonoma County neighbors as well, like at Hyde Vineyard Estate which is giving two-for-one tastings and a 10 percent discount on wine. To be sure, it is best to call and check.

To promote sustainable tourism, many wineries receive visitors by reservation only as required by Napa County. Visitors are encouraged to book appointments now and should bring a photo ID to enjoy VIP treatment and redeem offers.

In addition to these week-long specials, there are nearly 100 year-round Napa Neighbor offers for residents to take advantage of any time of the year.

Napa Neighbor Week coincides with Napa Valley Restaurant Week, making it a great week for locals.
