Spring Break= Bud break – how’s that for a segue !

Breaking it! Spring or Bud? This time of the year in Napa Valley is known as Bud Break. Tiny little florets of green, red and yellow spring up all over on the once dormant vines. The contrast of 50 year old wood and newborn leaves are a sight to see. Blue skies, puffy clouds, rainbows, as many different colors of green as the eyes can see- all of this is what you get in April.

We’re had a great time showing visiting families the town of Historic Napa; and the vineyard lined streets of Yountville with Spring taking a prominent place as buds break on the gnarly vineyards- getting ready for vintage 2010. Soon we’ll see tiny grapes forming with the promise of new beginnings.


Speaking of new beginnings- a very romantic way to stay in Napa is to be at one of our many historic Bed & Breakfast’s. This is a photo of McClelland Priest B&B – a Queen Anne style Victorian with beautiful rooms.


Stay there and visit Uncorked!@ the Oxbow to taste the wines Celeste and her husband Bruce make for Ahnfeldt and Cartucci. Where else can you get a really good Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon for only $22? Definitely worth a visit.


Tired of paying those high taxes? Every little bit helps, this month we are running a tax break special, because we think you deserve it! Take 10% off all tours for the month of April, and, like Sam and Jessica, you'll be happy you did.

Last month we had a guest who wasn’t able to walk long distances- you can see by this smile that Faith has discovered that, on a Segway, she can easily get around and attend a comprehensive tour about Napa. That’s what I love about these personal mobility devises, it helps those who cannot easily get around to feel liberated and free. We cover a lot of ground on our tours. A normal walking tour might get to 3 major stories in about 1 mile distance. On a segway, you’ll cover around 4-6 miles and learn a lot more – almost like being on a bus tour. Except – on a segway you see more, feel more, and just plain ol’ smile more!

We hope to see you soon!
Cheers!

Summer Family Fun with Segway Napa!






Although June usually means summer weather - not so this year in the Napa Valley, at least not yet. We've had rain and thunder showers - cool mornings, overcast, breezy - people are digging through their clothes to find some winter gear! April and May had some temps over 100, we've been lucky this month to see anything over 70. My Aunt Polly said she went through Markleeville two days ago and got caught in a snow storm! In June! In California!

Usually summer brings hot weather - always summer brings families. Remember that song - "School's Out For Summer!" - here's a YouTube from the 70's with the Muppets! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWABJzHrGww

But I digress - what I want to say is - in celebration of families - Segway Napa is offering our SUMMER SPECIAL - all tours 1/2 off for kids *12-17 yrs old (*or at least 85lbs). We're very pro-family at Segway Napa - All our kids pitch in to help with the business.

Some of said kids probably have not been happy with the overcast cool days - but the grapes have been very happy with the cool mornings. Bud break is over, pollination is over - all that's left now is to grow. The grapes are getting to be about the size of a baby pea . Here are some pictures to show how much they have grown since last month!








We hope too see you soon!
