What's Your Favorite Napa Staycation?

Tourists from all over the world flock to Napa on their vacations. Well, we locals kind of like the place, too. In this week's contest, we're looking to find out how Napans enjoy Napa when we have a little free time to spend in our "destination" home town.

Here are the nominees for this week's Reader's Choice Award; as always, if we've missed something, please tell us in the comments and we'll add it ASAP.

And of course, if there's anything else you want to say on the topic, we welcome your comments below. Because this poll is about more than individual listings, your comments are extra-important!
