Scenes From Napa Valley

Winery stop #1 -  Reynolds Family Winery

Nice sitting area to sip your vino.

More vineyards in Napa Valley than you can shake a stick at.

Winery stop #2 - Hagafen Winery

Typical entry way from main road into a winery.

Winery stop # 3. Can't remember the name of this one. We looked but didn't taste.

They had a nice sitting area, as well.

A beautiful valley!!!

Guess what? I found a brewery!!! Silverado Brewing Co.

Winery stop # 4. Bet you've heard of this one. Beringer Winery

Little patio for you wine and cheese.

Little History

Charlotte heading to the "Reserve" tasting room.

This one's for you, Linda. (Linda's a friend that does stain glass work)

Added ambiance.

Some more of the grounds at the Beringer Estate.

Winery stop # 5. Charlotte at the entry way to V Sattui.

Bottle of wine, cream cheese with artichokes and crackers. Fitting end to a wonderful day.

Tuesday we traveled about 190 miles northwest from Ahwahnee, CA to Vacaville, CA.  We will use this park as a home base for exploring Napa Valley and San Francisco. The campground is fittingly named the Vineyard RV Park.  We got up Wednesday morning and headed to the valley. There are vineyards everywhere and wineries to boot. The scenery is very pleasing and serene. A rolling country side filled with perfectly landscaped vineyards and the occasional orchard. Wineries set back off the road typically with a long picturesque driveway leading to them. You sometimes don't realize they are there until you see a sign indicating they are open for tastings, etc. We were overwhelmed with the number of them and found it difficult to decide where to stop. Because Napa Valley is not noted for the type of wine we have grown to like we didn't partake in too many tastings. As noted above, we did find a brewery and I got to sample their wares and enjoyed a little lunch. We ended our day sitting in a park like area outside V Sattui winery enjoying a little wine, cheese spread and crackers and soaked up the ambiance. We will probably revisit the area in a few days. Took today off and rested up with plans to take the ferry into San Francisco tomorrow.
