Why People Visit Napa California
Napa offers a 30-mile valley between two mountain ranges, the oldest commercial winery in California still operating on Highway 29 since 1861, the Robert Mondavi estate that opened the modern Napa renaissance in 1966, and the legacy of the 1976 Judgment of Paris when the valley's wines beat Bordeaux and Burgundy on neutral ground and rewired the global wine map. Visitors come for the wine, the Mayacamas-and-Vacas geography, the diurnal fog and the long hang time, the historic estates, the Calistoga geysers, Lake Berryessa, Mount St. Helena, and the simple riverfront pleasure of the city of Napa itself. It is the valley that everyone has heard of, and it earns the reputation every harvest.
