It wasn’t too long ago when kids and wine country did not make a great pairing. But, like the seasons, change is constantly happening. More family-friendly wineries are uncorking that fine balance for entertaining oenophilia caretakers and their brood. As doors slowly open since the shelter-in-place, it’s time to crush an action-packed day at these kid-friendly wineries in Sonoma and Napa.

It is important to make and/or confirm reservations directly, as individual businesses will open on their own timeline. Recreation is limited and wineries are working with ever-changing guidelines. Expect tastings and activities to be outdoors, masks and social distancing. Please be patient while we all adjust.
