The back story
About Napa & Sonoma: the back story
Napa and Sonoma are California’s best-known wine regions, side by side north of San Francisco. Napa is one long valley; Sonoma County is bigger and more rural.
Napa Valley
Yountville, St. Helena and Calistoga are the valley’s towns, linked by Highway 29 and the Silverado Trail.
Sonoma County
Sonoma’s historic plaza, Healdsburg and the Dry Creek and Russian River valleys are the heart of Sonoma wine country.
Three of California’s ten three-star restaurants are in wine country.
Dining
The French Laundry, SingleThread and Enclos hold three MICHELIN stars; book far ahead.
Our advice: book tastings ahead and use a driver.
