Napa – The Gateway to Wine Paradise

Napa is the largest of Napa Valley’s five towns and is conveniently located just an hour north of San Francisco, with a scenic drive over the Golden Gate Bridge, and an hour south of Sacramento.

Downtown Napa offers an impressive diversity of food and activities. Check out the unexpected blend of urban activity – interactive street art, food trucks, and a vibrant night life – combined with the quaint Napa Valley character – a quiet river walk, hidden tasting rooms, and a lively farmers’ market.

More than 400 wineries dot the fertile soils of Napa Valley, one of the world’s premier wine regions and famous for its prized Cabernet Sauvignon. Stroll through the vineyards, talk with the winemakers, or sip award-winning wines with dramatic views of the valley floor.

Your Napa experience might also include dining at Michelin rated restaurants, taking to the skies with a hot air balloon ride, or a leisurely bike ride along the Napa Valley Vine Trail. Whatever your pleasure, the result is something understated and exceptional.

Summer

(June – August)

Summer will lure you with golden hills, verdant vines and the warmth of the sun. Summer is when the grapes really start to grow in and by August, harvest begins throughout the valley. Evenings can be cool even in summer, so bring a sweater for outdoor dining.
