Napa Valley’s main street
St. Helena is proud to call itself
“Napa Valley’s main street.” Whole winery tours are devoted to this town and
its more than 80 wineries. It has bed and breakfasts, theaters and a restaurant
so popular that reservations have to be made 60 days in advance.
If you’re planning to visit St.
Helena (and why not?) find a hotel, and be ready to spend several days there. Look
for Yelp reviews of the town’s wineries and schedule tours of the best. Get out
into the Napa Valley countryside and explore the hills and subvalleys that
influence the wind and clouds in subtle ways. A great deal can be found within
a five to ten mile radius of the town.
These days 16 different American
Viticulture Areas are recognized within Napa Valley. The St. Helena AVA is at the northern end of the valley floor. Its soil ranges from gravel-clay soils on
its southern and western borders to rich volcanic soils in the north and east. Deep,
ripe Cabernet Sauvignons and Merlots with jammy flavors and blackcurrant aromas
all come from St. Helena wineries.
