Just booked flight and hotel for Napa, CA...

Wine, Food, scenic? Hard to give advice unless you specify your likes/dislikes. Traveling with family? Wife? Kids?

I'll assume your flying in to San Francisco and then driving to Napa? Where are you staying? Access to a car?

Most wineries will be in harvest that time of year depending on the type of grape and the weather. Most require appointments as well.

Good idea..

My wife and I are going with another couple who have been a couple times.
We are flying into Oakland and renting a car to drive over
Staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Napa on Solano Ave.
Looking for food and winery advice also. Food as far as good stuff that is not very expensive and winery advice as some off the beaten path or unknown wineries that are suggested. I know there are more wineries than you could visit in a lifetime, nevermind one trip.

We went a number of years ago. Had a great time, visited about 30 wineries in 3 days. Best thing we did was rent a limo for a day. The driver was very knowledgable and he showed us some of lesser known wineries. Try to get into The French Laundry for dinner. It'll cost you a small fortune, but you'll never forget it.

Jesus Christ on Rollerblades! It is like $270 a person. That would buy a helluva lot of very good wine.
