NAPA and Sonoma in February

Going to Los Angeles in early February and thinking of visiting the NAPA -
Sonoma area for a few mid-week days at the end of the trip. I've been to
the area in crowded September, but never in the winter. Is the NAPA -
Sonoma worth a couple of days in February or are many wineries and
restaurants closed?
Thanks-
Dave

Just curious, but why are you capitalizing "NAPA"? Makes it look
the auto parts stores. It's Napa, and it's short for either the
town of Napa, Napa County, or Napa Valley.

Sonoma isn't have as much conveniently arranged for touring,
while Napa Valley has nice straight roads up each side of the
valley lined with wineries.

Everything is open almost every day of the year; avoid weekends
and holidays if you can.

Not everything is open, especially every day of the week, but enough
is open to make it worthwhile. I commonly visit Napa or Sonoma in
February mid-week, in fact (and probably will this year). You can
usually get a great deal on a place to stay at the last minute,
especially if the weather is bad.

What an odd question. I know of no reason why any restaurant, winery,
or other business in those counties might be closed in February
unless there's been an Earthquake or a flood.

Some restaurants reduce their hours seasonally, due to lack of
demand. It's more true in Sonoma than Napa. I believe some wineries
do the same, but am more familiar with the restaurant situation.
So, midweek, as the original poster mentioned, some places might
be closed. Not so on weekends.
