Napa Valley

Napa Valley is a world-renowned wine region in the United States. At the Judgment of Paris, the Chardonnay from Chateau Montelena and the Cabernet Sauvignon from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, both from the valley, outperformed several famous French wineries, establishing this valley as an internationally recognized wine region. The valley has a unique climate with warm days and cool nights. Sea fog from the bay drifts into the valley, nourishing the vineyards on the slopes, and Cabernet Sauvignon is the undisputed star here. The valley connects towns from south to north, includingNapa, Yountville, St. Helena, and Calistoga. Highway 29 and the less-traveled Silverado Trail run through the valley on the west and east sides, respectively, with endless vineyards and rolling hills along the way. Wine tasting is the main event here: Robert Mondavi Winery in Oakville is considered a pioneer of modern California winemaking; Castello di Amorosa near Calistoga is modeled after a 13th-century Tuscan castle, where you can taste wine while exploring the castle and underground cellars; Sterling Vineyards uses an aerial cable car to take visitors to a hillside tasting room, offering panoramic views of the entire valley. Visitors who aren't just here for the wine have other options: take a train with vintage Pullman cars north fromNapa, watching the vineyards glide by while dining in the restaurant car; or take a hot air balloon ride in the early morning to overlook the mist-covered valley, a favorite experience for many.
