Granted, I did reach out rather late (like the 3 days before my stay), but would've been nice to let me know they ran out of reservations.

I also stayed on a Friday - if you just came back, maybe a weekday vs weekend thing?
Wine tasting prices have definitely gone up tremendously, and they tend to book out quickly, especially during harvest season.

Abit late, but TripAdvisor has a list of free things to do: TripAdvisor Free Things to Do in Napa

If you are a foodie, Thomas Keller has a chocolate/pastry shop, Bouchon Bakery; and Alila Napa use to give out Kollar Chocolates, and hope they still do; but Kollar Chocolates is also within the central shopping area...
