Napa Valley is a big place. If you're looking to spend your next Wine Country excursion in a small-town setting, we recommend sipping your way through the gorgeous tasting rooms of St. Helena. Best of all, most of these quaint spots are just a few minutes from each other, so you won't need a designated driver for a full day of fun.

Raymond Vineyards

A part of the Boisset Collection, Raymond Vineyards is all about luxe entertaining. Experience a flight in their low-lit, pink-hued tasting room or relax in the sexy Red Room Lounge (complete with red, velvet couches and massive chandelier) as you sip on their signature cabernet. Tastings vary by price; Appointment necessary. // 849 Zinfandel Lane (St. Helena); raymondvineyards.com

Orin Swift

The swanky tasting room at Orin Swift will have you drooling over the posh setting and amazing wines alike. Collaborating with over 75 local growers, Orin Swift offers an eclectic array of wines (with names such as China Doll and Machete) in a modern setting. We recommend 2014's Trigger Finger, an exotic, aromatic blend of all spice and Bing cherries with notes of blueberry and cassis. Tastings are $10; No appointment necessary. // 1325 Main Street (St. Helena); orinswift.com

Clif Family Winery is owned by the same family behind Clif Bars.

Bruschetta + wine tasting $40; appointment necessary. // 709 Main Street (St. Helena); cliffamilywinery.com

Thorn Hill Tasting Room

Just across Main Street from Orin Swift is Thorn Hill Tasting Room, a cozy, cafe-like setting to sip on Chardonnay, Pinot Noirs, and Cabernet Sauvignons.
