Carneros Resort and Spa, Napa: Kids can splash the day away by Otto’s Pool, a family-friendly, palm tree-lined spot. There are even kid-sized pool chairs.

There was a time when Wine Country and kids didn’t pair well. Parents in search of a weekend getaway had to line up grandparents to hold down the fort while they were away. But, in recent years, Wine Country has had a change of tune when it comes to welcoming traveling families. Kid-friendly wineries and restaurants abound. And local hotels offer everything from safaris to robots. Click through the above gallery for Napa County properties that make it great to be a kid (and parent).
