Napa & Sonoma picnic policy data
As of September 2026, we track 380 places. Of 200 wineries, 134 offer some kind of picnic and 46 well-known ones don't allow picnics at all. 51 of 87 parks allow you to open a bottle, usually with conditions. Every row below comes from the venue's or park agency's own information and carries the date we last checked it.
By county
| County | Wineries tracked | Offer a picnic | Allow your own food | Picnic parks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Napa Valley | 77 | 42 | 28 (36%) | 21 |
| Sonoma County | 123 | 92 | 65 (53%) | 66 |
Why Napa has fewer picnic wineries: county winery permits often limit food service and picnicking. See our explainer.
