I'm going to Cali in a couple of days on a business trip and will have a day off...was thinking of renting a car and head early to Calistoga/ Yountville...there seems to be a lot of options but if any of you could suggest 1 or 2 wineries worth visiting.... Cheers!
hiya, If you're looking for interesting wineries with beautiful scenery where you can enjoy a fun Napa Valley tour, Sterling is a great place to take a walk and see how wine is made. If you go as far north as Calistoga or St. Helena, Chateau Montelena, Hess, and Vincent Arroyo are all worth a visit. Mumm's is a gorgeous place to sit outside and drink some fine wine. Further south of the Napa and Sonoma borders, Cline and Domaine Carneros vineyards are also sure bets.
Napa Valley is a very popular wine-producing region and has many wineries which offer private tours and tastings. I have visited Beaulieu Vineyard few months back, and it's one of the most famous & historical wineries in Napa Valley. I really experienced the finest wines there. You can also have a Napa Valley wine train trip which offers a 3 hrs round-trip journey with fresh food, wine tasting in the most famous wineries, unforgettable sceneries etc.,
