Napa Valley Tourism, California, USA. The History, Wine Tour, Environmental Tour. Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford, St. Helena, Calistoga. Napa Valley is exactly what you expect when you think of Wine Country: hillside chateau wineries, bold Cabs, vast expanses of perfectly ordered grape vines, grassy slopes speckled by the tungsten sun, restaurant dinners that go on for hours, and some of the finest and most luxurious small-scale boutique hotels anywhere in California. Beyond the typical, Napa has some great hiking in the hillsides, exhilarating mud baths up north in the more working-class town of Calistoga, and plenty of small shops, wineries and classy bistros in the tony village settings of St Helena and Yountville. Most journeys here start and end in the city of Napa proper. In the town center there are tasting rooms, live jazz and plenty of fine-dining options, plus the option to party late into the night at down-home pubs and eateries that draw a young local crowd
