Guided Voyager updates destination guidance regularly, but hours, weather, access, and reservations should be checked close to departure.

Before you go

Use the live details that matter

  • Book two tastings at most on a full day. The valley gets less enjoyable when every stop becomes a clock problem.
  • Do not put Carneros, Calistoga, and a downtown dinner on the same day.

Confirm current access, hours, reservations, and conditions with Official Oxbow Public Market information.
