Kid friendly wineries in napa/ sonoma
Hi
I will have lots of family visitors over for the Christmas holidays. I am looking for recommendations for kid-friendly wineries in Napa/Sonoma. There will be a 3.5 yr old, 1.5 yr old, and 2 month old. Nice ambiance and good wine preferred :) Any suggestions?
Thanks!

We are a big fan of the Coppola Winery up in Geyserville. It's probably too late for swim season (they have a great outdoor pool area), but they have a lot of strolling space, outdoor lounging/eating, and bocce ball. We've gone there with a ~1 year old no problem.
I worked for years in the wine country, and it's honestly not the place for kids. Your children will be bored, and when your kids are cranky and upset it ruins the experience for others. Invest in a babysitter.
Try Hagafan Winery in Napa, on Silverado Trail. They're very laid-back, don't charge a fortune (unlike most other wineries in the area), and they have dogs and juice boxes!
The SF Chronicle recently had a supplemental magazine (sort of 5x9 size) about wineries. The index has a section about kid friendly places. You might see if you can find it online.
We visited V. Sattui last year and there were lots of families. Big park-like setting with trees and picnic tables, there's a deli and market and a little museum. It was very crowded when we visited so be prepared for that if you go on the weekend.
Jamieson Ranch! they have miniature horses on property on the weekends.
