Here are some pictures to prove it :
The Vineyards
It’s a new year, and another season has stated here in the Napa Valley. If you visit now, or in the next month or so, you will notice that some vines have lots of “wood” and some have been pruned to the base. The pruning needs to be completed before bud-break. The vines are dormant right now, so the rain we are currently getting will not do any harm. You will see some vineyard workers in the fields, pruning the vines.
These are 92-yr old Zinfandel vines! Ever seen a grapevine wreath? This is the time to harvest that portion of the vine.
It is also Mustard Festival Time! You will see vineyards with brilliant yellow flowers. I took this picture during a storm, in a moving car, when the sun all of the sudden broke through – so it’s a little fuzzy – but gorgeous!
The mustard plant adds nutrients to the vineyard land during the dormant season. Napa Valley has a Mustard Festival – amateur and professional photographers are all over the valley trying to get that winning shot! You might see some segway photos too!
The Segways
Lots of rain in January meant few tours for Segway Napa. Spike kept a watch over the Napa River to make sure there were no floods.

In addition to rain, we even had some snow! Check out this picture – mustard blooming on the valley floor and snow on the top of Mount St. Helena!
We take this opportunity to do maintenance, take mini vacations and time to enjoy the sunsets!

We added two more segways to our fleet – yeah!! 2009 was a good year for us, 2010- should be great! Even in this rain, every week we’ve had gliders don the ponchos and head to the streets. Luckily, no one got too wet! I love this adventurous side of segway riders- why let a little rain stop you? Especially if you’re on vacation.
New Tour Coming Soon! Calistoga is jam packed with interesting history! This year we will be adding a Calistoga Historical Tour. We’re working out the kinks right now. It promises to be a fun and entertaining tour.
