Why visit Napa Valley?

Napa Valley, about an hour north of San Francisco in California, is one of the world's most famous wine regions, with hundreds of wineries along a valley about 50 kilometres long. It is known above all for Cabernet Sauvignon and for its restaurants, spas and countryside.

Tour and taste at wineries along Highway 29 and the quieter Silverado Trail, from historic estates such as Beringer and Robert Mondavi to small family producers; most require reservations. The town of Yountville is known for its restaurants, including The French Laundry, and Calistoga for its hot springs and mud baths. See the valley from a hot-air balloon at sunrise, ride the Napa Valley Wine Train, or cycle between vineyards. The Oxbow Public Market in the city of Napa has food stalls and local products. Harvest season, from August to October, is the busiest and most atmospheric time. Plan a driver or tour if you are tasting.
