They say the best things in life are free. But sometimes it’s hard to get your head around that.

That Bottega bag you’ve been eyeing comes with a hefty price tag. And a weekend at the Post Ranch Inn will definitely cost you.

But sip after sip of Napa’s best? Now we’re talking.

At Frank Family Vineyards, tasting manager (and total character) Dennis will be happy to pour you a taste of sparkling or pre-release wine. (He’s been known to break out the good stuff for impressive shmoozers.) Recover by relaxing under a giant oak tree, relishing the view.

Heitz Cellars opened its doors in 1961, when Napa had less than 20 wineries. The old-school family vineyard still makes some of the best vino around.

Bremer Family Winery is a bit out of the way, but its wines make this trip well worth it. Head to the slopes of Howell Mountain, taste the balanced, complex wines, and enjoy a picnic lunch on the grounds.

Who says you can’t get something for nothing?
