Can you walk between wineries in any areas of Napa or Sonoma Valley in Wine Country?
Planning to visit wine country in northern California this summer. We don’t want to drive for obvious reasons and are hoping to avoid the planned shuttle tours. From the maps, it looks like there are several areas with 8-10 wineries within a mile or two of each other. They’re mostly connected by state highways that I assume aren’t exactly pedestrian friendly, but is it possible to get a ride to such an area then walk among the nearby wineries at our own pace? This seems like an obvious question but I haven’t really seen anything about it online.
(I’ve read about "wine trek" planned tours that visit a few wineries and have hikes in between, we’re not looking for that.)

these websites are very helpful .Have a look at them and even you can contact them and ask them whether it is appropriate for you to walk and have a tour of the wineries. According to me it would be sheer fun and and a whole lot of excitement. Just check that you dont get exhausted then then just can’t have fun at the wineries . If possible go to the Robert Mundavi winery . it is my favorite and a very informative winery . Taste different kinds of vines and shop all winery stuff there .
Enjoy and hope my info. helps you .
Mostly, you need to drive, but you can take VINE bus#10( $1.50) and jump from one to another,each vineyard is big and no road to walk.
Stop at St Helena,Napa, Yountville,Calistoga
Yes you can walk to some from others, but I have a better idea. Rent a bike and do it that way. You can rent a bike in Calistoga and they will give you a map of several wineries you can ride the bike to. Several wineries are within 5 miles of bike riding area. The town of Yountville also offers this kind of service. Check out on line Calistoga Bike shop for some ideas on how this works.
Healdsburg. There is a location that has maybe 5 winery tasting rooms within walking distance (just outside downtown). Camellia Cellars is one of the wineries here:

Better bet is to invite a non-drinker to your tour and they can be DD.
ps- wineries are generally very accommodating to designated drivers and give them free non-alcoholic beverages.
