Across Napa County, County Business Patterns counted 4,486 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 11,819 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Napa County has far more than the national share of breweries, wineries and distilleries: 430 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, visitors plan tasting trips around hours and directions, so the website should show what is on tap or in the bottle, tasting-room hours, events and directions.
