Napa Valley, also known as the wine country, around 50 miles north of San Francisco, in the USA attracts wine lovers to its rolling valleys fixed with several rows of vines.

The rural surroundings, the setting of the wineries and farms, and the epic delights make for a wonderful weekend getaway or a day trip to Napa Valley.
Although several wineries are open daily for wine tours and tasting, it is recommended to reserve your stay and explore around three to four wineries in a day.

In the winery, the tasting process usually takes place at a bar or terrace which offers gorgeous views and a beautiful setting.
