Nappa Valley Wineries - United States

Doubly blessed with rich volcanic soil and an ideal varied climate, Napa County is optimally suited to produce world quality wine grapes. Wherever you travel in this scenic area, you are almost always in view of a vine-covered mountain or valley, and no matter the time of year, you're in for a treat for all the senses.

In the spring, the area comes alive with the vibrant yellow of the mustard flowers between the rows. In the fall, the grape leaves turn startling hues of red, yellow, orange and brown. Year round, the weather is perfect for people and wine grapes alike: cool in the morning and at night, warming up in the afternoon. From May to November you can count on ideal weather for an outdoor picnic in a vineyard. With fall comes the Harvest and the flurry of activity in the Valley. You're apt to see picking in the vineyards and crushing at the wineries on any given day. Even in winter, the temperature rarely dips below freezing, and the winery tasting rooms beckon with their relaxed environment and cozy hearths.
