Napa Valley Travel


 

Napa Valley Travel is much more than Simply Wine Tasting and Wineries.

If this is your first trip to the romantic Northern California wine country, consider a Napa Valley Travel Package to take the guesswork out of what to see.

When planning Napa Valley travel, you should understand the key areas that make up the majority of Napa Valley. Having this information at your fingertips will make the trip more enjoyable and memorable. The towns of the Napa Valley by the way are Calistoga, St. Helena, Oakville/Rutherford, Yountville, and Napa. All offer the visitor plenty to do in the way of winery tours and wine tasting.

If you are the more adventurous type, just go o the region and collect Napa Valley information right in town. If on a limited time constraint however, package deals are available that will hit the hit points of the area while still allowing plenty of time for relaxation. As Napa Valley is well known for its wine, adults will find plenty to do, but children may not be quite so busy.

Calistoga is a popular town that is situated on a natural hot springs bed. This early 1800’s town was popular with the settlers due to the claimed relaxation and restorative properties of hot springs. From the early 1800's to today, visitors continue to visit Calistoga and enjoy the hot springs if only for the shear pleasure of the experience. Tourists arranging their own Napa Valley Travel itinerary and are focused on seeking a little rest and relaxation, can't go wrong with some time in Calistoga.

Harbin Hot Springs is a non-profit organization that offers relaxing Napa Valley travel choices. At Harbin Hot Springs, guests can relax in any of the resort’s natural springs, attend artistic workshops, or stroll the 1700 acres of impressive landscape. Package deals are available.



The oldest recognized winery in California is in the area around St. Helena. Beringer Vineyards is California’s oldest winery in full operation today. Beringer, founded in 1876, offers daily tours and wine tasting as do many of the smaller local wineries. There is a small charge for some wine tours but it's not expensive. Although many of the Napa Valley Travel packages include the winery tour costs, be sure to check before booking.

The Beringer Vineyards is packed with lush landscaping and historic buildings. St. Helena is also a haven for antique shoppers. The area’s extravagant Meadowood golf course will appeal to the avid golfer. Couples interested in different activities will find this area just about right.

The Napa Valley Area is also home to some of the most talented movie creation houses in the world. The fabled Skywalker Ranch is near. And yes, it's that Skywalker from Start Wars fame. George Lucas is purported to have originally created the first Star Wars epic in a farmhouse with his designers. The computer and creative work that didn't require actual models and sets were all done in the lush Napa Valley. It's possible to possibly get more information if this is of interest from a Napa Valley Travel guide.

Some of the vineyards are or were also owned by some of the most recognized entertainment names in the industry. Francis Ford Coppola was at one time part owner of the Niebaum-Coppola Vineyards,

Rubicon Estate in Oakville/Rutherford continues to produce top-notch wines. Rubicon Estate offers special estates throughout the year. The St. Helena Olive Oil Company is another "must see" on many Napa Valley travel itineraries. Olive oil and balsamic vinegar are both produced daily and can be sampled in the retail section of the company.

Yountville, California is no more than one mile in length. Tourists love adding Yountville to their Napa travel plans because the town can be seen by foot. Park your car, put on some comfortable shoes, and see the sites. Amazing architecture is only one of the rewards. France’s Moet and Chandon sister company, Domaine Chandon, is located in Yountville. Daily tours of the winery that specializes in sparkling wines are free. While a trip into the tasting room lets you enjoy a few samples.

In Napa, La Belle Époque remains a highly requested bed and breakfast. Romantics of all ages book rooms at this gorgeous Queen Anne Victorian months in advance. The Wineries of Napa Valley is a unique organization that offers samplings from many of Napa Valley’s wine makers. The Wineries of Napa Valley sells a wine tasting card that allows ten-cent initial samplings from each winery in the establishment.

Whether you are arranging a romantic Napa Valley travel plan or wanting to explore the world of wine making, Napa Valley is a lavish option. Though the area can be a little on the pricey side, a visit to the Napa Valley will create a lasting happy memory.
