Ah, fall. It sure is a special time of year in Napa Valley, bringing an unmistakable liveliness to the area as grapes are harvested and crushed, the vineyards change to vibrant shades of orange, and wineries welcome visitors to enjoy the fruits of their labor through a fun line-up of events. Adding to the festive spirit of the season is Napa’s Vista Collina Resort, where a full calendar of fall activities and events will have you celebrating well into the holiday season.

Vista Collina Resort has only been open for just over a year, but it’s certainly made its mark in the area. Not only does the Resort offer spacious rooms and suites conveniently located just a few minutes from downtown Napa, but there’s also a wide range of plush amenities to make a stay here extra special — a luxurious pool and cabanas, a Food & Wine Center offering culinary experiences, fitness center, and The Village offering eight wine tasting rooms and a brewery, to name a few.
This fall, Vista Collina Resort is hosting a wide variety of fun events and happenings to help you embrace the autumn season, catering to everyone from couples to families, wine enthusiasts to tequila fans.
