Wine tours of Napa Valley
In
Napa Valley, this is the grape harvest season — the time when wineries are at
their busiest. If you want the chance to actually talk with the winemakers and
not be in the way, schedule your visit now for a later point in the year. A
number of travel companies have set up wine tours of the Napa Valley area, so
you can visit a series of vineyards accompanied by other wine lovers. You can
learn about winemaking from people who do it for a living. This will take a few
days, so plan ahead to find a hotel room in the valley.
Touring a winery near St.
Helena
Anderson’s
Conn Valley Vineyards in Napa Valley, a 10-minute drive from downtown St.
Helena, is one of the best vineyards in the Napa Valley area. They produce fine
wines like the 2012 Right Bank. 2012 was a perfect winemaking year in Napa
Valley in both yield and quality, and the ’12 Right Bank reflects this. The
strongest element of the aroma and palate is blackberry, but it is combined
with notes of plum, red berries, leather, blue violets, anise and allspice.
Like the 2011 vintage, its grape and oak tannins blend smoothly together to
accompany the bright acidity and fruit, and it is expected to age well for up
to 30 years. Anderson’s Conn Valley Vineyards can be visited as part of a tour,
or you can join their wine club today and find out what they have to offer.
