You don?t have to be a wine connoisseur to fall head over heels in love with Napa Valley (though it does help if you enjoy a glass or two), and the term Wine Country just doesn?t do it justice. Chockablock with elite wineries and globally recognised restaurants by both new and legendary talent, Northern California?s ?Disneyland for adults? has become a hot spot known to satisfy anyone (over 21 years of age) who has an appetite for quality food and beverage. Napa has its very own unique culture?one that pays homage to foods that are grown, gathered and soon after served delightfully on a plate, and even the ingredients for cocktails are ethically sourced. Illustrious estates and remarkable wineries lined up one after another along a two-lane road make for stellar scenery, making it the perfect environment to wake up, wine, eat, wine and repeat.
