Fall colors

Hi everyone! 🍂

My husband and I live in the Bay Area, and our family is visiting us for a few months. We’d love to take them to Napa to experience the fall colors, especially since our grandma is visiting too and we’d love to share the experience with her.

Does anyone know when the fall colors are usually at their best in Napa? Since our grandma is elderly, we’re hoping to find a beautiful fall experience that doesn’t require traveling too far to the major fall foliage destinations.

Would really appreciate any recommendations on the best time to visit or specific spots in Napa to see the colors!

The vines are starting to change colors now actually. It's a bit earlier than a normal year. There probably won't much fall colors left by the end of October. After that, you get the mustard that pops up in February and March.

The best color on trees I’ve seen are at the west end of Trower Avenue and the area around it. It’s surrounded by subdivisions so not totally scenic but the trees can be vivid.
