If we get bored, we will consider a side trip. Could we maybe just go to visit a winery in the Napa on a half day trip or is that too far? Looks quite doable at Google map...
Yes, that makes perfect sense to stay the extra night to recuperate from the long journey
As far as the day trip to Napa - you absolutely could do that in a half day. In fact, most of my trips are done just that way, about 2-3 hours round-trip for the drive, and we usually visit 3 wineries over the course of a couple hours, 2 just for tastings and 1 more a longer tour including lunch.
