Best picnic spot on Spring Mtn in Napa??

[WinoGina]

Hi! We will be visiting Napa/Sonoma for several days in mid-October and are hoping the weather will cooperate for some picnic lunches. We usually avoid visiting this area during busy seasons (fall) and on weekends, but a couple of business trips have left us with these days available. We are planning to visit some "off-the-beaten-path" places to avoids crowds and have gotten some great suggestions from this list. We have decided to spend one day on Spring Mountain in Napa and would like a recommendation about the best winery for a picnic. Right now, I am considering Schweiger and Pride, but am open to other suggestions. Looking for a great view and clean comfortable picnic accommodations at a friendly winery. Thanks for your assistance!

Without a doubt, Pride has the greatest view possible from their picnic area. Don't forget to set an appointment, get a bottle from them of what you like, I personally like both Cabs, Sauvignon and Franc and drink in the best view on Spring Mountain!

Another vote for Pride. Here's a panorama from their vineyard near the top of Spring Mountain.
