Established by racing legend Mario Andretti, this Tuscan-inspired winery is located on the southern end of the Napa Valley and was opened in 1996. The 53-acre vineyard produces Merlot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Sauvignon Blanc vintages that are featured in the tasting room. Guests are encouraged to tour the 4,000-square-foot facility designed to look like a Tuscan villa. Up to 300 guests can be accommodated for private parties. The Winner’s Circle Wine Club offers members two bottles of wine four times a year, recipes from Mario’s kitchen that complement Andretti wines, discounts, a newsletter, special tours and tasting.

Established in 1979, Mumm Napa is a partnership between France’s Mumm champagne family and American bourbon moguls Seagram & Sons. Visit the spacious tasting room, which features a glass wall overlooking acres of vineyards. In addition to rotating exhibitions by some of America’s most famous photographers, a photo gallery on the grounds houses a permanent display of the Ansel Adams collection ‘The Story of a Winery’. The winery produces three sparkling wines: a Blanc de Noir (made from Pinot Noir grapes), a Blanc de Blanc (predominantly Chardonnay grapes) and a Brut Prestige (blend), as well as a vintage signature release, the Cuvee Napa DVX.

Founded in 1981, the current winery produces fewer than 20,000 cases annually, predominantly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. About 1,000 cases of limited release wines are also produced, including a Cabernet Franc and a dessert wine. Renovated in 1995, the winery retained the historic architecture of the original buildings and still employs a traditional Burgundian method of producing Pinot Noir in open-top concrete fermenter. Several wines have won awards. Wine tasting is free.

In 1976 the now famous Bicentennial blind wine tasting pitted California wines against French wines. The shocking result was that a California cabernet sauvignon bested all the bordeaux reds. The wine? The 1973 release from Stag’s Leap. That one event not only enhanced Stag’s Leap reputation, it put Napa County on the international wine map. The news was stupendous to winery founder Warren Winiarski (Polish surname meaning “winemaker’s son”). Ever since, the winery has continued to produce outstanding cabernet sauvignons. Reserve wines are expensive, but other decent wines are also marketed under a second, more affordable label (Hawk Crest.)

Swiss millionaire Donald Hess displays a portion of his magnificent art collection at this renovated Christian Brothers Winery. The original stone structures built in 1903 were retained in the new facility, which also includes an audio-visual room, a 13,000-square-foot art gallery and an upscale store. While the wines are simple by Napa standards, they are both decent and affordable. The winery produces two varietals, chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon, under two different labels: The Hess Collection (produced from Napa grapes, $15-35) and the bargain label Hess Select, made with grapes from Monterey County. Tasting fee is $5, self-guided winery tours free.

From Highway 29 take the Trancas Street/Redwood Road Exit (Exit 19). Veer left onto to Redwood Road and follow for approximately 7 miles. Your Trip to the windery should not las more than ten or fifteen minutes. The Hess Collection Winery is on the left hand side.

Abundant wildlife through out the park and can be enjoyed by all visitors. At all times of the year. A picnic ground and trailhead at the base of the hill lead to steep trails up to the boulder-strewn valley rim. Hikers and horse riders are greeted with scenic views of the Napa valley.

With three vineyards, an 1850’s farm house for winetasting and a list of activities, you can’t help being overwhelmed. Events are also held year-round, such as the Cline Jazz Festival and the Winter Winemaker Dinner.
This was a pretty cool winery, with a quaint little shop. The people working there were nice, and seemed to genuinely enjoy both what they were doing, as well as having you there. They’re whites were OK, but the thing that jumped out at me was that most of their reds had black pepper added. It was definitely noticeable… almost too noticeable. If you like a peppery red this is the place for you. Just as a side note, not all of their reds are peppery. I liked their 2003 Ancient Vines Mourvedre enough to buy a bottle!!

The staff was so kind and warm – and the views from the terrace were worth the visit alone. All of this was only made better by a terrific selection of beverages and light snacks. You could just spend hours at this place – and we did! Definitely one of my favorites. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

With a yearly production of 3000 cases, Homewood Winery has come a long way since its first production of 500 cases in 1988. The grapes are produced on home grounds with absolutely no use of insecticide – owner David Homewood prefers not using it on the precious crop. Feast on the likes of wines such as 2003 McHugh Vineyard, which is a blend of six different barrels, and 2003 Carneros Pinot Noir, a combination of strawberry and red cherry.

The Golden Gate bridge serves as the grand entrance to the Golden State of California. Spanning over 4,200 feet, and constructed in 1937, it is as much an engineering masterpiece as it is a beatiful piece of artwork. The suspension bridge has one of the longest spaces between arches of any bridge in the world. The views are unparallel and the memories are ever-lasting at this magical bridge. Visitors can walk across the bridge only to find even more breath-taking views on the other side. Be sure to check out the gift shop and take plenty of photos.

Fisherman’s Wharf was originally constructed as long row of fishing piers. Today it is mainly used a wonderful walking path with gorgeous views and tourist attractions along certain piers, specifically Ghiradelli Square, Pier 39, and Pier 45.

Originally built in 1915 in Greecian temple style architecture, it served as a location for the Pan-Pacific International Exhibition. This place has been slowly restored over many years, and now serves as one of those peaceful serene spots in San Francisco, where you can catch your breath and kick your shoes off just to gaze into a bright blue sky.
