      Vineyards_in_Napa_Valley

      ––––––––

      Depending on the time of year, there’s nothing more fun than taking a trip out to the wine country, especially Napa and Sonoma counties. In fact, after you make your first trip, you’ll come back and focus on this special part of America, so completely a world unto itself that there’s literally nothing else like it in this country. I am in the wine trade myself (my family produces a fine sparkling wine using grapes from Napa and Sonoma), so I know a little bit about it.

      The two valleys are just an hour’s drive north of San Francisco.

      The two counties are quite different in layout and attitude. Though Napa is more famous than Sonoma, winemaking actually began in Sonoma (in 1835) a whole generation before vineyards were planted in the 35-mile long Napa Valley. And while vineyards line Napa from one end to the other, in Sonoma there still are fields where vineyards have not been planted.

      ––––––––

      ––––––––

      While Napa is narrow and more confined, in Sonoma, the land extends out from the Russian River far and wide, giving you a much more expansive sensation. Between Napa and Sonoma, there are hundreds of wineries large and small. Napa has some 45,000 acres planted with grapes. While Napa has all the celebrities, the high-end restaurants, the luxurious spas, Sonoma really feels like a rustic farming area by comparison. Much less razzmatazz. The good thing about both valleys is that they’re right next to each other, so it’s easy to enjoy both. But here our focus is on Napa.

      Wine lovers didn’t really begin flocking to this area until the 1980s, and the lodgings at the time were limited to a few inns and some B&Bs.

      These days, however, you’ll find superior lodgings to match anywhere in the world, complementing the high quality of the wines produced here.

      Nobody thinks of this, but did you know there’s a Veterans Home in Yountville? Now, I ask you, if you had been in the military, wouldn’t you want to retire here? 

      GETTING ABOUT

      ––––––––

      Most people come to Napa by way of San Francisco, and the town of Napa itself is only 55 miles from San Francisco. The towns strung along the Valley moving north are: Napa, Yountville, Oakville, Rutherford, St. Helena and Calistoga. Sonoma County is just a few miles to the east of Napa Valley. 

      The Valley is only 35 miles from one end to the other, so (traffic permitting) it only takes a half hour to go from Napa in the south to Calistoga in the north on Hwy. 29 (also known as the St. Helena Hwy.).

      ––––––––

      ––––––––

      The Silverado Trail, some 2 miles away, run parallel to Hwy. 29, and during peak traffic, makes a faster alternative if you’re in a hurry. Also has splendid views.

      High season runs from March through the harvest in October, and this is when the place is jammed with tourists.
