Best California Vacations: Napa Wineries

By Philip Vonwrede


Napa is a well renowned city in the world thanks to the wine region in the Napa Valley. Even though most Napa wineries are usually located at the outskirts of city limits, production of wine in Napa has been there since 1800s. according to history, John Patchett was the first wine maker in the city and worked along Charles Krug in 1858 at a placed located close to the present day town of Fuller Park. Despite the fact that that making of wine at Napa city is conducted in areas away from the city, wine tasting is still possible within the town. In fact, tasting rooms and wine bars in the city are not less than 20 and there are still others located on the way. Nevertheless, most Napa wineries have limited production capacity and can not host a lot of visitors at the wineries. As such, the trend has been the shifting of wine tasting rooms into the City in order to accommodate a large number of wine lovers.

I really like Stags' leap winery. In 1893, Stag's Leap Winery started wine making on a massive 249 acre of land. It is presently maintained by Foster's group and in 2005, Stag's Leap Winery experienced a major transformation with hiring Robert Brittan. Their trademark wine variety is the Petit Syrah.

I've had many good times at Darioush Winery. Darioush Winery is typically associated with Bordeaux styled wines. It is one of the finest in the Napa region, carefully made with the use of aged techniques that is more labor-intensive, running of micro-vineyard and totally open to modern technology in the wine making process. The winery features the very best quality and refined wines employed by the win-making skills of Steve Devitt. Responsible for the facilitation of the different activities and event at the winery, Darioush Khaledi is in charge. The guest facilities in the vineyard are delightful wherein everyone is assured to have a more personal wine tasting experience.

Domaine Carneros Winery is a first class winery. Located at Carneros, Domaine Carneros Winery expresses the excellence and traditional of wine making in California, as founded by Champagne Taittinger. The winery was established in the year 1987 and since then Domaine Carneros has been considered as a landmark in the region and it is one of Napa wineries with exquisite, vineyard views. The main terrace and chateau at the winery are opened daily from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm for wine tasting services and visitors can enjoy daily tours at the winery.

Looking for that special winery, try Artesa Vineyards & Winery. Artesa Vineyards & Winery is arguably the most beautiful one in the whole of Napa wineries. It rests right on top of the hill and gets a clear 360-degree view of all of nature's creations. It is no wonder that locals as well as the visitors have dubbed this as the 'Carneros jewel'. It simply doesn't have any other to compare to.

For the Cab specialist, look no further than Robert Sinskey Winery. With an assortment of popularized wine varietals that includes the Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon as well as commander Zinskey and Merlot, Rober Sinskey winery is definitely among the most notable in the Napa region. Robert Sinsket is the main wine maker in Livermore Wineries and makes sure to keep the quality of their wines up along with the best in the world.
