Oh my goodness, can you tell me what’s better than a trip to Napa Valley in the fall!? Picture this: you’re in beautiful Napa Valley, basking underneath the golden sun, sipping on a glass of cabernet sauvignon, and just getting ready to leave to go to a delicious dinner at one of St. Helena’s best restaurants. You’re wearing a beautiful dress and just living your absolute best life, celebrating life in autumn.
Isn’t that just such a dream? California wine country is truly such a gem, and there’s nothing better than spending autumn afternoons at Yountville, Napa, Calistoga, or any one of these gorgeous places north of San Francisco. Before you set off for that dreamy Napa Valley escape, check out these 10 Napa Valley fall outfit ideas to ensure you’re vineyard-ready and looking fabulous!
What to Pack for a Trip to Napa Valley in the Fall
When it comes to packing for a trip to Napa Valley, I recommend bringing a cozy sweater and/or a cardigan to layer over when it gets a little cooler in the evening, some comfortable shoes (if you love wearing heels like me, I would opt for a chunky heel and wedges, no stilettos!), a denim jacket, some sunnies, and a wide brimmed hat. As always, check the weather before you head out, but having these and keeping them on with you or in the car will keep you prepared in case it gets too warm or too chilly for you!
What to Wear in Napa Valley During the Fall
Napa’s fashion is an inspired blend of laid-back Californian style with a touch of cowboy elegance. The key is in choosing pieces that reflect the serene and luxurious vibe of the valley, with a touch of country. We’re in wine country after all, amirite?
Think soft textures, flowing silhouettes, and accessories that add a classic sparkle without being too overpowering. It’s all about outfits that allow you to bask in the beauty around you, wine glass in hand, ready for that perfect Instagram shot.
Incorporate loose-fitting shirts, breezy trousers, or a sundress that catches the gentle autumn breeze for a look that’s effortlessly chic. As the vineyards display a tapestry of burnt orange and golden hues, align your wardrobe to complement nature’s palette. Adding a nice hat and a pair of statement sunnies can marry function with fashion, offering both shade from the sun and a trendy look to your fits.
For evenings that call for a more polished look, opt for understated sophistication. A classic wrap dress paired with a fine-knit cardigan or a sharp blazer can be accessorized with a delicate gold chain and matching earrings. Footwear, while stylish, should remain practical – consider a pair of ankle boots or comfortable block heels that will gracefully carry you from cobblestone streets to soft vineyard soils.
Keep in mind that temperatures can drop after sunset, so carrying a cardigan or a sweater can add warmth and a pop of color. Embrace layers that can easily be added or removed as the day shifts from warm afternoons to cool evenings.
