I grew up in a military family – my grandfather served in the airborne division during the Second World War and my parents both spent time as first responders. It instilled a great sense of pride and respect for the sacrifices made by those who served.
After hearing through the grapevine that some wineries offer military discounts, I decided to call a bunch of them up and take notes along the way. And so, here are all the deals and discounts I could find in Napa Valley for service members, both active and veteran!
