Wine Tasting in Napa Valley, CA

Even though every state in the U.S. produces wine, California’s iconic grape-growing valley remains the ne plus ultra for travelers in search of rustic-luxe hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, and cult wineries. Arrive during the fall harvest or in early spring for fewer crowds. Fuel up with brioches at Bouchon Bakery and then start your tastings at Gargiulo Vineyards. Check out master sommelier Gilles de Chambure’s top picks for the ultimate Napa itinerary.
