Napa Valley pulls me in for these reasons: The picturesque, rolling countryside, hundreds of wineries — producing mostly Chardonnay, Pinot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot varietals — as well as world-class restaurants that put those wines to good use. This is my fourth time here in California Wine Country and here are my personally vetted, tried-and-true MUSTS when visiting…
COVID update as of post time: Most wineries are open by appointment only and indoor dining is still not allowed so reservations are a must.
