Best San Francisco Vacations: Napa Wineries



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.

Their Bordeaux styled wines are famed all throughout the Napa wineries by keep age-old techniques that is mainly centered on labor production, micro-vineyard management, and the incorporation of current technologies being discovered in the art of wine-making.

It faces some of the best natural architecture in the region and possibly have the best views among other Napa Wineries. One you see the lovely, striking scenic views of the Artesa Vineyards & Winery, it would be clear how it came to be called the jewel of the wine region.
