The Napa and Sonoma Valleys are a beautiful holiday destination. They are located in the Northern Caligfornia countryside, approximately one hour north of San Francisco. As one of the most successful wine growing regions in the world it offers temperate weather and rolling hills filled with lush vineyards and black oak trees reminiscent of the French or Tuscan countryside.
There are many famous wineries ranging from the largest estates like Domain Chandone and wine caves to mid-size and smaller family owned wineries such as Mondavi.
When you visit the Wine Country you will find many relaxing activities and chances to see both the natural history of cities such as the original library building on main street in downtown Napa, to the original wineries from the first days located in the town of Oakville.
The beautiful mission town of Sonoma is a destination unto it's own, and is surrounded by famous Sonoma vinyards such as Ravenswood, Simi, Sebastiani, and Kendall-Jackson.
Wine tasting tours and events are held regularly throughout the season and there are a range of wines and wineries to tour as well as shopping activities and excursions to the countryside.
