Loading ...NAPA VALLEY - CHRISTMAS WINE TRAIL
Posted by Roy
For all you wine buffs and adventurous tourists alike why not visit the famous Napa Valley to the north of San Francisco this Christmas and hit the Wine Trail. The Valley is home to over 200 wine estates and produces varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Merlot. The Napa Valley is visited by over 5,000,000 tourists a year and is the second most popular attraction in California after Disneyland. Its wines are considered the equal of many of the classic French and Australian vintages.
To see the wonderful scenery and arouse your taste buds there are several interesting ways to see the wineries, taste the wine and see the area.
For the first wine tasting adventure, join friends in a classic vintage limousine with a personal guide and visit several wineries. Meet the wine makers, visit the vineyards and cellars and of course taste the great wines.
If this method of travel is not relaxing enough for you, ride the Napa Valley Wine Train on a tour of the valley. Relax in the comfort of the restored and elegant Pullman coaches, eat in the dining car or Silverado Grill and watch the glorious scenery glide by from the glass-domed observation car after visiting the best coach on the train, the wine-tasting bar! There is another version of the Wine Train for the kids, which has Santa and his Elves on board. Take your pick!
If you want to be more hands on, then how about being your own wine maker for the day. At a famous winery you will blend your own wine from barrel samples such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. You can create your personal “special”. You may have to be the judge of whether or not it is actually drinkable but you should have a lot of fun sampling your mistakes! A gourmet lunch should round off a very pleasant and interesting day.
In December the weather is pleasant in the Napa Valley. So with sunshine, lovely Inns and Hotels, good food and unforgetable wines you should have an equally unforgetable Christmas in the Napa Valley following the Wine Trail. A very “Merry” Christmas to you all.
