California Wine Country - Napa Valley

Napa Valley is one of the most famous wine growing areas in the world. While grapes have been grown and wine made here since the 1800's, what distinguishes this part of the United States is the fact that this area is comprised of a series of micro climates of which Napa is but one, although the most famous. The others are Carneros, Sonoma, and Alexander Valley. Each of these micro climates has unique soil and weather conditions that impart their individuality to the grapes that are grown, which in turn give unique characteristics to the wine that is made. In fact, while a wide variety and often similar types of grapes are grown in each of these areas, the micro climates are very different and give rise to unique types of wine: hardy and classically styled Pinot Noir, Sparkling Wine, and Sauvignon Blanc in Carneros; rich and unctuous Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Sonoma; and rich deep reds, principally Cabernet in Napa. It is the worldwide popularity of Cabernet and the intense quality of Napa Cabernet that has made Napa Valley such a household name and popular tourist destination.

Napa Valley is a long and narrow region, approximately 30 miles north to south and 5 miles east to west, comprised of 19 square miles. It is 42 miles north of San Francisco and slightly closer to the Oakland airport (50 miles) than the San Francisco airport (56 miles) airport which is further south. Most visitors choose to tour the area by car. Getting to Napa Valley is easy. For driving directions go to: Napa Valley Visitors Info. In Napa Valley, most visitors use Route 29, which is the main north/south route, on which is located the majority of retail stores, towns, lodging, restaurants and shopping; and depending upon the time of the year, jammed with traffic. Less traveled and far less developed is the Silverado Trail which runs parallel to Route 29 and much more rural with mostly farms and wineries. Because these two routes are connected numerous times by a series of east - west roads the Silverado Trail is the preferred route for those who know Napa Valley and those who want to avoid the congestion of Route 29. Of course, first time visitors should travel Route 29 to see the heart of Napa Valley and all that it has to offer, while repeat visitors generally choose the Silverado Trail to more quickly navigate the Valley and avoid sitting in traffic.

Napa Valley has four principal towns. These are beginning in the south and traveling north, Napa, Yountville, St Helena, and Calistoga. Each of these towns has a special character and interest for visitors.

Napa is the largest of the towns and is often the town most visitors overlook, which is unfortunate because it has much to offer in the way of museums, shops, and restaurants.

Yountville is less of a town and more of a shopper's and "foodie's" destination. Yountville is the location of the French Laundry, one of the most celebrated and difficult restaurants to get into in the country. Don't be discouraged however because there are several other excellent restaurants in this town, including one owned by the brother of the owner of the French Laundry. In addition to food, Yountville also has a nice variety of specialty shops and stores.

St. Helena is the most visited town in Napa Valley, principally because it is in the middle of Napa Valley right on Route 29. It is a quaint old town with excellent shopping and a wide selection of restaurants.

Calistoga is at the northernmost part of Napa Valley, and it is definitely worth a visit. For those who have had their fill of wine offers, visitors can go to a micro brewery (Napa Valley Brewing Company) that makes an excellent selection of fresh and refreshing beers in a wonderful outdoor restaurant setting. Calistoga is also a world-renowned destination of healing and renewal with healthful air and natural hot springs. Visitors have been coming to the area's hot springs and mud baths since the late 1800's.
