It’s not often associated with solo travelers–but I’m here to tell you that it should be. I recently went on a trip to Napa as a solo traveler, and it checked just about every box that I look for in a solo destination. With the gorgeous weather, idyllic hotels and inns, countless wineries to explore, and lots of adorable boutiques to shop in, it’s giving Under The Tuscan Sun energy without having to leave the country.

Find A Hotel That Becomes A Part Of The Experience

Hotels and inns like the Rancho Caymus aren’t hard to come by in Napa. There are nearly 50 hotels and boutique inns in the area, and from what I’ve seen, they air on the nicer, more luxurious side. The town itself also feels incredibly safe, so as a solo traveler, you won’t have any extra anxiety weighing on you about your own safety.

Wine Tasting Is Surprisingly Social, Even When On Your Own
I found it to be incredibly enjoyable to sip my wine, let myself fully immerse in the experience, and then speak to others when I felt like it. I wasn’t forced to be social if I didn’t want to be, but if I did, the opportunity was right there. It was equally relaxing, joyful, and invigorating.

Reclaim Your Peace with Napa’s Renowned Wellness and Spa Scene
View this post on InstagramTo start your trip off with the quintessential spa experience, I'd recommend visiting Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary. Here, you can book an all-day retreat. It starts with an enzyme bath, a walking meditation, and a seated guided meditation. Then, you'll experience a massage or facial, a catered lunch, and a ceremonial circle in the forest. You will move as a group with whoever else booked the retreat for the day. It's a perfect experience for a solo traveler, with an equal balance of focusing on yourself and connecting to those around you.
Overall, I left my trip feeling like I was able to rest my mind and body, have a little bit of fun, and met some interesting people along the way. There wasn’t a single moment where I wished that I was someplace else. If this sounds like your kind of getaway, don't wait until you have someone to go with. Napa Valley is more than worth experiencing on your own.
