Did You Know? Napa
Valley has more wineries per square mile than anywhere in
the world. It also is the most heavily traveled hot air
balloon corridor anywhere.

Most often compared to Italy's Tuscany or the Bordeaux region of
France, Napa Valley brings a decidedly European flavor to America. A
wondrous sight any time of year, vineyards appear as lush, leafy
greens, bright yellow meadows of mustard seed, fields of flaming red
and autumnal orange or stark, neatly tethered vines. The architecture
of area wineries and homes are modeled after European designs and
cultural arts flourish, from classical concerts at Robert Mondavi
Winery to the fine art of the Hess Collection Winery and Spanish
Zarzuela performances at the Jarvis Conservatory. Celebrity chefs have developed
a cuisine unique in the world- based on European fundamentals
accented with flavors from Asia, South America and the Pacific to
pair perfectly with fine Cabernet, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir
and Zinfandel.
Winemakers are eager to adopt the very latest techniques in a
continuous quest to make better wine, and they enjoy sharing their
findings with visitors. Winery tours are conducted every day of the
year, providing a friendly California welcome and an opportunity for
education and enlightenment about a process as old as civilization.
