Napa Valley

California vineyard region

Napa Valley is a wine-producing region in Northern California, renowned for its cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay.

The name evokes premium American wine, upscale tourism, and vineyard-dotted hillsides: We spent the weekend tasting in Napa Valley.

Often shortened to just Napa: a nice Napa cab.
