The San Francisco Chronicle says:
"A safe wine-tasting option: Napa WineWalk"
"Because [Napa County] is so vast, someone in every group of visitors must drive from one tasting room to the next - which requires a designated driver or chauffeur. This could be one reason locals are atwitter over a new concept designed to attract wine enthusiasts to downtown Napa.
The idea, dubbed Napa WineWalk and publicized by the Web site NapaNow.com, is an upscale spin on the traditional pub crawl."

[See them all]
You'll notice that as you walk, you'll also pass many of Napa's finest restaurants. Do yourself a favor, and stop in during or after your walk for a thoroughly enjoyable meal, whether it be lunch, dinner or a mid-afternoon snack.
Most wines available for tasting on the Napa WineWalksm are from small, low-production wineries in the Napa Valley—many of them hard-to-find "cult" or "boutique" wines. Others are from elsewhere in California and throughout the world.
Some tasting rooms are operated by a single winery pouring its own wines. Others are a cooperative effort where wines from a number of different wineries are served. Still others are “wine bars”, not connected with any particular winery but pouring wines by the taste or the glass from as many as 40 different wineries from the Napa Valley and beyond.
