Another "Critique My Itinerary" Ask

I know these are a dime a dozen here. I'm just starting to overthink all the options and want to see if I'm on a smart path.

My wife and I visit the first week of August. So I'm guessing I have time before having to make reservations. Hence, I haven't nailed down times yet. Wanted to make sure I'm on the right path for the general choices and order of things.

Staying: Westin Verasa in downtown Napa
Transportation: We'll rent a car at SFO and plan to hire a service that drives it for us

For the driver, it looks like we need to do at least 6 hours with them each day. That seems doable. But I'm alternately worried I'm not packing enough in each day, or packing in too much and not considering timing.

Day 1 (we fly in late the night before, so I didn't pack a ton in for day one)

  • Breakfast/coffee - Oxbow Market
  • Domaine Carneros (bubbles and bites, so we get a light lunch out of it)
  • Matthiasson Winery
  • Dinner - Scala

Day 2

  • Breakfast - Bouchon Bistro
  • Frog's Leap
  • Nickle & Nickle
  • Lunch - Mustard's Grill
  • Stag's Leap Wine Cellars
  • Hang around downtown Napa for the evening, pop into somewhere ?? for dinner

Day 3

  • Breakfast - Under-Study in St. Helena
  • Schramsberg for the tasting and cave tour
  • Lunch - Gott's
  • Charles Krug
  • Relax time at hotel or around Napa
  • Dinner - Angele

Day 4
Unsure, this is where I got a bit overwhelmed at what I was planning. Maybe a Platypus tour for our last day, to take the planning out of it?

Much appreciated for any advice or critique! I've taken a lot of suggestions from a lot of threads here, which have been immensely helpful.
