Anything to do in Napa besides drink wine?
My wife and I are thinking of spending a week in Napa this year but we are not big drinkers. Can we still keep busy for a week there?

Eating is another of the great pleasures of Napa Valley. The towns i would reccomend are napa itself, as well as yountville. Tra Vigne in Napa is fantastic, and you cant walk two feet without finding a great place in Yountville. I would reccomend Bouchon, or for a truly life altering experience, the French Laundry, if you can get in and want to spend the money.
Also, there are quite a few great hiking trails as well as old missions to explore too. All this would probably add up to a few days of a trip. From there i would reccomend a drive up highway 1. . .
If you go soon, you can swim in the flood-waters.
Even if you don’t drink wine, visiting the many wineries to learn how they create their products can be very interesting. I’m not a wine drinker, but the scenery is wonderful and each winery has a tale to tell.
Personally, I prefer to enjoy the wineries and vinyards as pleasant backdrops on my way to Infineon Raceway…
I like photography and the scenery, old buildings are a beautiful backdrop to the valley.
Perhaps a visit to Calastoga for a mineral bath or a stroll through St Helena.
Taking a bike ride would be fun.
Spending quality time togeather.
Enjoy
