Just over an hour north of San Francisco, the Napa Valley is a fabled legacy of international renown, yet is also one of the smallest winegrowing regions in the world. Only 30 miles long and a few miles wide, the valley’s 150 restaurants, 125 lodging properties, outdoor activities, events and art galleries ensure that there is no one way to experience the valley. You may just have to come back for more.
