DescriptionThe Napa Valley region is hands down the "Crown Jewel" of Northern California’s wine country. This would still be true if this region did not produce some of the world’s best wines due to its stunning natural beauty. This region is blessed by the cool fog that rolls in from San Pablo Bay on its southern side and warmer weather on the northern side near Mt. St Helena. Due to the 10-12 degree difference in weather temperatures, this region produces many diverse varietals to please any connoisseur.
This valley is dotted with amazing turn of the century chateau-like wineries that are built with stones from this rocky terrain. All this is surrounded by the grace of world-renowned vineyards. We will stop for a bit of bubbly in the Carneros Region at the most impressive European chateau Domain Carneros. We get to experience all this from the leisurely pace from our vehicle on the eastern side of the valley along the Silverado trail with our first stop at Signorello and then on to Clos Du Val Winery with its fine redwood tasting room. A quick drive through the tree lined back roads leads us to the vast Trefethen Vineyards. The entrance driveway of this large estate is so impressively long; it was used as a private airstrip for Mr. Trefethen back in the day. The Dry Riesling here is incredible as are many of the older aged 1990-1995 reds they serve here for tasting. After having lunch, take an optional stop at the Laird Family Estate where you can experience fine Chardonnay in one of the newest contemporary style destinations in the valley. Finally, we’ll make our way back to Monticello Cellars for our last stop before returning to Sacramento.
