What is the Holiday Preview Weekend?
The St. Helena Holiday Preview Weekend is an annual celebration that officially marks the beginning of the holiday season in the heart of Napa Valley. This year, from November 22nd to 24th, the charming town of St. Helena invites everyone to enjoy a weekend filled with shopping, wine tasting, and festive cheer.
Local boutiques and wineries open their doors, offering special promotions and a first look at their holiday collections. It’s a fantastic way to find one-of-a-kind gifts for your loved ones while supporting the incredible local businesses that make our community so special. We love seeing everyone’s smiling faces as they explore all the wonderful things St. Helena has to offer.
