Tour the Jelly Belly factory (as civilians). Eat a lot of gummy candy at the (free!) tasting bar. Buy lots of Jelly Belly products.
Flit through an olive oil and flavored vinegar tasting.
Get bubble tea and eat deep-fried, spicy chicken bites.
Drive through Napa.
Dally at our favorite winery. Go through the whole cheese and pate tasting, followed by an extra-long wine tasting (whites for me, reds for the others, but I get to sip from their glasses, too).
Buy much more wine than intended (I was going to stop at 2 bottles this year!).
Stop by a little Italian grocery store, complete with adorable clerk who makes change (credit cards, ha!) from a tin cash box while chattering in fast-paced Italian with her mom on the phone.
Have lunch at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone (castle). (Yes, they are still learning, but for the most part, delicious. With unbeatable scenery.)
Pop in my favorite champagnerie (who knew it was just off the main drag! Found it again!! Hooray!!!) a few minutes before closing and buy still more (sparkling) wine.
