Napa & Sonoma Wine Country

Napa Valley

Legendary Wines and Wine Country Indulgence

Napa Valley put California on the global wine map when it famously challenged France’s finest wines at the 1976 Judgment of Paris. Today, this celebrated region is synonymous with exceptional winemaking. Cradled between two mountain ranges and carpeted with vineyards, the valley is home to world-renowned wineries, Michelin-starred restaurants, luxurious spas, and charming towns. Beyond its legendary Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley offers a wealth of culinary, cultural, and outdoor experiences.

At the valley’s southern end, downtown Napa blends historic architecture with a lively culinary and cultural scene. Browse the artisan food purveyors at Oxbow Public Market, stroll the riverfront, or explore tasting rooms and galleries tucked into beautifully restored buildings. The Napa Valley Wine Train offers another way to experience the region, with vintage railcars winding through the vineyards.

Yountville

Farther north, Yountville has earned a reputation as one of America’s great culinary destinations. Its walkable streets feature acclaimed restaurants, including Chef Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry and Bouchon. The streets are also lined with boutique tasting rooms, art installations, and inviting gardens. The town’s intimate scale makes it easy to wander from galleries to wine tastings to exceptional food.

Calistoga

At the northern end of the valley, Calistoga offers a more relaxed, rustic atmosphere. Famous for its geothermal mineral waters and volcanic mud baths, this small town has welcomed generations of wellness seekers. Discover historic hot-spring resorts, browse shops along Lincoln Avenue, or explore nearby wineries nestled beneath Mount St. Helena.
