Napa Valley
Wine connoisseurs know that Napa Valley is the preeminent destination for those with a discerning palate. This lush California valley is home to more than 400 wineries and produces world-class wines, including the award-winning and highly coveted Cabernet Sauvignon. Napa Valley isn't just a pleasant place to sip wine; it is a mecca for all things wine related. You can enjoy wine tours, chat` with master vintners, wander through vineyards, and, of course, enjoy an unrivaled culinary experience amid the striking beauty of the valley and surrounding hills.
Napa Valley is wine country and a favorite vacation spot for wine lovers and foodies. The winery owners, winemakers, and staff are devoted to giving guests a hedonistic adventure. Not surprisingly, Napa Valley sees a spike in visitors coinciding with the grape harvest season, from August to October, but thanks to California's balmy climate, Napa Valley is a year-round attraction. In fact, approximately 3.85 million people travel to this wine region each year.
