The weather is supposed to be absolutely amazing this weekend, with temps in the mid-to-upper 80’s. With that in mind, here are a couple activities that’ll get you out and about to enjoy Spring!

Saturday, April 12

  • Clark-Claudon’s 2nd Annual Wildflowers & Wine Bike RideClark-Claudon Vineyards is hosting the 2nd Annual Wildflowers & Wine Bike Ride, where you can experience the best of what the Napa Valley has to offer: an opportunity to embrace your senses: wildflowers at their peak, crisp clean air, rural beauty, and friends gathered together enjoying fine wine, tasty picnic fare and more.

    All riding abilities are invited: three levels of routes, support vehicles, bike rentals & more are available. And the best part? Funds raised will go to support the Nicaraguan Education Project; aimed at making lasting changes in the lives of children in Nicaragua. For further details, call 707-965-9393

  • Napa Valley Museum is sponsoring and leading a hike to the source of the Napa River. Just meet Jonathan Koehler, Napa County Resource Conservation District, at Robert Louis Stevenson Park in Calistoga at 9:30am sharp. From there, you’ll take a strenuous 7.6 mile hike to the south peak of Mount Saint Helena.

It’s suggested you bring comfortable hiking footwear, protective clothing, lunch and plenty of water. Call 707-944-0500 for reservations–the hike (which is free of charge) should conclude around 2pm

Saturday, April 12 and Sunday, April 13

  • The folks over at Clos du Val are doing their tax relief weekend (that’s right, taxes are due on 4/15!!!) again. That means you get 10% off all tasting room purchases–just drop by 5330 Silverado Trail in Napa
