Up to now, Casa Nuestra is our favorite kid-friendly winery.
So, that’s not an easy proclamation to make. There are a lot of wineries in the Napa Valley. A lot of wonderful wineries in the Napa Valley. And a lot of wonderful kid-friendly wineries in the Napa Valley.
But, Casa Nuestra stands out for us.
In the simplest terms, we like this winery because of their utter lack of pretension.
We’ve visited several times. And I’ve written about the experience here and here. Oh, and we joined their wine club (and that in and of itself says A LOT because most locals don’t join clubs, and we had to be on the waiting list for a while to even become members).
Who: Obviously, the wine tasting is for those 21+, but all ages can feel comfortable and have fun; we’ve visited with two 3 year-olds and a 1.5 year old
What: A laid back and unassuming time, tasting fantastic, unique, limited-production wines in a homey old farmhouse with a super-casual picnic area AND GOATS
Where: 3421 Silverado Trail North, just north of Saint Helena
When: Monday-Saturday, 10am-4:30pm, by appointment–call 707.963.5783
Why: To experience Napa as it was back in the 1970’s (when the winery was founded), taste awesome wines you can’t really find elsewhere and picnic in a beautiful setting–all while not fretting too much about the wee ones, or worrying about what other people think about you having wee ones with you
