About Napa Valley

Planning a little magic getaway to a different world? Why not drop into Napa Valley, a land of mesmerizing scenery and rolling hills. The region is a magical corner of the world which is located just an hour’s drive from north of San Francisco. The Valley's sunshine is cooled by coastal breezes and a Mediterranean climate that works beautifully for growing wine grapes. You can visit Napa Valley any time of the year and enjoy the valley’s ever-present sense of fun filled with wine, food, arts and entertainment.

Most of us are already aware that Napa Valley is known worldwide as a premier wine producing region. It is home to more than 300 wineries and the region became more famous since two of its wines were considered better than their premium French counterparts in the Paris Wine Tasting of 1976. This judgment helped to create a change in the impression of the general public about Californian wines.

Although the valley is only 30 miles long and about 5 miles wide, but still it is one of the top wine-producing regions in the United States and is also well-recognized as one of the major wine regions of the world.

The famous produce of the valley include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Sangiovese, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Malbec, Petite Syrah and several other varietals. That is a lot of variety considering the fact that it is coming from such a small area.
