Napa wine tasting is a “bucket list” trip for some, and an annual (or more often!) treat for others, for good reason! The Napa Valley is one of the most highly recognized appellations in the US. Only 4% of all California wine comes from the prestigious AVA – Napa wines are about 0.4% of the world’s wine production.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Premium pricing is, of course, a consequence of limited supply – not that the premium is due solely to restricted supply. Napa grapes are also prized because of the ideal soil and climate conditions for a number of grapes, most notably cabernet sauvignon. Its worldwide reputation also means the 400 wineries in Napa (many of them boutique) have become a destination for world wine enthusiasts.<\/p>\r\n
