Hi Reader, If you’re planning a trip to Napa Valley this year (or just daydreaming about one), I put together something new for you, a free Napa Valley Google Map. It includes 61 pins covering my personal recommended: Basically, everything I loved enough to include in my Napa blog posts, all in one easy spot. Grab the free map here:
You can save it to your phone, open it while you’re exploring, or use it to plan your next Napa getaway. I’d love your feedback 💛 This is my first time turning my travel guides into an interactive map, and I want it to be genuinely useful. If you use the map, will you hit reply and let me know:
Your feedback really does shape what I create next. Coming soon: the expanded Napa map (under $10!) If you want more ideas while you’re planning, here are my Napa Valley guides:
Thank you for supporting my work, and if you end up using the map for a Napa trip, let me know if it was helpful! P.S. If you know anyone heading to Napa soon, feel free to share the free map link. Thank you for spreading the word! If you found any of this info helpful, I’d love it if you could use these links for your next trip. These are all the sites I personally use to book my trips, and if you use them, some of them will earn me a commission at no extra cost to you. This helps reduce the ever-increasing costs of keeping my site up. Thanks!
