  Napa wineries for large groups? Hi all - I'm doing a wine tasting tour with 16 friends for my 30th birthday in a couple weeks and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for awesome wineries that don't mind a) bus drop offs, b) large groups, and c) if we are a little bit on the festive/rowdy side (nothing over the top, but we all haven't seen each other in a while and will definitely be celebrating). I know we are not quite the target demographic for wineries, so I don't want to go somewhere we won't be welcome. So far on my itinerary I have Domaine Chandon and then Oakville Grocery for lunch. Would like to add 2 more stops to the list. Cheaper is better but beggars can't be choosers so I'll take whatever ideas I can get. Thanks in advance for the help!

  [Here are some suggestions](http://www.intowine.com/napa-valley-best-wineries-hosting-large-groups). V. Sattui has okay wines but a great picnic area. Personally I'd explore [Sonoma Valley](http://www.intowine.com/sonoma-valley-best-wineries-hosting-large-groups) instead, especially if you're looking for less expensive (but still great) wineries. We were just part of a party of eight that went to several wineries along River Road in Sonoma County. The [Martin Ray](http://www.martinraywinery.com) winery had picnic tables set out, and if you bought wine, the tastings were free. You could also consider visiting a tasting room or two in downtown Healdsburg, followed by dinner.
