The Napa Valley is world-famous. It is one of the premier wine growing regions of the world, rivaling the likes of Bordeaux, France, if not in size, certainly in stature and notoriety. It is also practically synonymous with California wine, and with good reason. It has the greatest concentration of wineries in the US, with more than 300 of them packed into an area of just over 100 square miles, including some of the California’s oldest and grandest wine estates.
St. Helena lies more or less iat the heart of the Napa Valley, surrounded by no fewer than 40 premium Napa wineries. The town itself is an historic wine town. founded in the 1850s by pioneer vintners. It has an especially charming main street, lined with antique street lamps dating from 1915, and several old and lovely native-stone buildings, also from the late 1800s and early 1900s.
