🇺🇸 Napa Valley | 5 Must-Visit Century-Old Wineries in Napa! 🍇🏰
Napa Valley, just a short drive from San Francisco, is home to hundreds of wineries. I highly recommend a visit – especially if you pair it with a stop in Sonoma first! 🚗💨 (Note: Approx. USD to CNY conversion: multiply by 7. Check exact rates online.) 📌 All wineries require advance reservations via their websites. You’ll need to select a date, time, and tasting package (typically $55–$100 per person, includes several wines and sometimes a tour). 1️⃣ Domaine Carneros 🥂 A French-style château specializing in sparkling wine and rosé. I may not be a champagne expert, but the vibe was perfect! The gardens are gorgeous for photos. 📸 Tasting: 4 glasses for ~$55. 2️⃣ Buena Vista Winery (Sonoma) 🍷 Great value wines – I even bought a few bottles to take home! Not the most photogenic, but the wine is worth it. 🍴 Nearby gem: The Girl & The Fig – amazing French bistro. Their foie gras is smooth, rich, and not gamey at all! (If you’re into that 😉) 3️⃣ Sterling Vineyards 🚠 Scenic aerial tram ride with stunning valley views! The wine was just okay (and pricey), but the experience and photo ops are unforgettable. You get a keepsake glass and sip at stations along the way to the hilltop. 4️⃣ Beringer Vineyards 🇩🇪 One of California’s oldest Cabernet Sauvignon wineries! Their wines have a distinct German influence – bold and slightly intense. I booked a guided tour (1.5 hours) with cellar access and history storytelling – highly recommend! 5️⃣ Castello di Amorosa 🏰 A 14th-century-style Italian castle – as beautiful as it is delicious! Their dry reds are exceptional. You can even pre-order future vintages or ship cases if you live in the U.S. (I regret not buying more 😭) Next up: Road trip to Yosemite National Park! 🏞️ (Yes, I still owe you my San Francisco guide… I’ve been lazy lately 😴) #NapaValley #WineTasting #CaliforniaTravel #WineryHopping #TravelUSA #LuxuryGetaway
