REGIONS OF NAPA VALLEY
Carneros - has become home to some of the best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the Valley. However it is among the least known and visited areas of the valley. This is a surprise because it is a rustic setting full of rolling hills. Most wineries in Carneros are smaller, and open by appointment only (we will take care of this for you).
Stags Leap - is a small region that makes some white wine, but it is the Cabernet Sauvignon that has made it famous. These are the full-bodied, lush, but not overly tannic, Cabs that are winning awards throughout the world. We will set up stops at some of the major houses as well as some smaller up and comers. This is the Cabernet lovers dream.
Mount Veeder - is a wine region that rises 2000 feet above the Valley floor. Mt Veeder offers a rugged terrain, volcanic soil, and some amazing views. Mount Veeder has some of California's best wines, including elegantly structured Cabernet Sauvignons and smoky Zinfandels.
St. Helena - is right in the heart of Napa Valley. St. Helena was founded in mid 1800's, a fact clearly visible in both its business district and side streets which are lined with Victorian homes. St Helena is home to some historic wineries dating back to 1880, and recognized worldwide.
Calistoga - is neatly tucked into the upper end of the valley. Calistoga is famous for spa and mud baths, however lets not forget it is surrounded by would class wineries. Some of Calistoga's wineries beat out competive French wines in blind tastings in the 1970's, putting Napa Valley on the wine world map. It is well worth the extra drive up the valley floor.
