A LONG-AWAITED RETURN NAPA VALLEY WINERIES

by JIM PETERSON, WINE ENTHUSIAST & INSTAGRAM WINE INFLUENCER

Ilast visited Napa Valley in 1989. Therefore, my visit last month was long overdue. Since there are over 450 wineries in Napa Valley along a 30-mile span, I had to decide on an approach early in my trip planning.

For a trip like this, I believe the optimal day is to book a morning tasting, break for lunch, and then book a maximum of two afternoon tastings. It also helps to group the day’s tastings in a localized area. In my short visit, I included a mix of older and newer wineries to experience a broader spectrum of all that Napa Valley offers.

How did I do? Join me on my journey and see how it turned out.
