NAPA WINE 101

Discovering Napa Valley: California’s Premier Wine Destination

Nestled in the heart of Northern California, Napa Valley is a world-renowned wine region that has earned its place among the greats. Though small in size—just 30 miles long and a few miles wide—this picturesque valley packs an impressive punch, home to over 400 wineries and some of the most celebrated wines in the world.

Napa's rise to international fame began in 1976 with the Judgment of Paris, when two local wines outperformed top French contenders in a blind tasting. Since then, the region has become synonymous with quality, craftsmanship, and innovation. From robust Cabernet Sauvignons to elegant Chardonnays, Napa offers a range of varietals that reflect its diverse microclimates and rich soils.

Beyond the wine, visitors are drawn to Napa for its scenic vineyard views, award-winning restaurants, and luxurious resorts. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or a curious first-timer, there's something here for everyone.
