California Wine Country:

As a wine aficionado, you will already know that best U.S. wines come from Napa Valley. With over 200 wineries in this 30-mile valley, Napa Valley is not only synonymous with world-class wines but also with natural beauty & comfortable living.
Its climate & soil contribute to its status as one of the world’s greatest wine growing regions, enabling the growth of Bordeaux grapes for producing superior Cabernet Sauvignon & Sauvignon Blanc. In addition, the southern region of the valley, especially the Carneros Region beside San Francisco Bay, has the ideal climate to grow Burgundy grapes that produce fine Chardonnay & Pinot Noir.
