Wine tasting in Napa Valley often means a crowded, standing-room-only tasting bar. With Truly Napa Valley, travelers will discover wineries that offer something more, including incredible vistas, magnificent estates, ATV vineyard tours, eclectic art collections or just a down-home kitchen table. Dog-friendly and picnic-friendly wineries are easily identified and users can record and share their personal tasting notes at each winery.

Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy trails geared toward dog-walking, biking, hiking and horseback riding. Neophytes will appreciate detailed wine tasting tips and a concise Napa Valley primer.

Written, photographed and designed by Sharon Pieniak, Truly Napa Valley shares experiences new to even some locals. “Traveling and living in an Airstream trailer allows me to really dig in and discover the beauty and unique pulse of a place,” Sharon says. “I wanted Truly Napa Valley to feel like you’ve got a local best friend showing you all the best spots.” Sharon includes personal, handwritten notes throughout the app and even Harley, her canine sidekick has a say.
