Napa County Essentials

Napa County’s viticultural landscape features historic estates like Beringer Vineyards and the French-inspired Domaine Carneros. The region gained international acclaim following the 1976 Judgment of Paris, a legacy preserved at Chateau Montelena and Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. Beyond the tasting rooms, the valley offers Michelin-starred dining in Yountville, artisanal food at Oxbow Public Market, and the vintage Pullman cars of the Napa Valley Wine Train. Architectural landmarks range from the medieval-style Castello di Amorosa to the modern, hilltop Artesa Vineyards.
