About Napa Valley
Discover Napa Valley
Napa Valley is America's most celebrated wine region — a 30-mile long valley north of San Francisco that produces some of the world's finest Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Merlot. Beyond the 400+ wineries, Napa Valley offers Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury spa resorts, hot air balloon rides over the vineyards, and the charming towns of Yountville, St. Helena, and Calistoga. The valley's stunning scenery — golden hills, orderly vine rows, and Mediterranean-style estates — makes it one of the most beautiful destinations in America.
