General presentation
Napa Valley
Vineyards, gastronomy and hilly landscapes north of the bay.
To understand what Napa Valley is, you have to look at Castello di Amorosa, Oxbow Public Market and Beringer Vineyards. These places give us a landscape marked by countryside and heritage and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Castello di Amorosa
Castello di Amorosa Transposes a Tuscan castle in the middle of the vineyards of Calistoga, with towers, inner courtyard, vaulted rooms and tasting cellars. The place clearly plays the map of the decor, but the ensemble gives a very visual visit of the Napa Valley especially for those who like to combine wine and architecture.
Culture and heritage
Oxbow Public Market
Oxbow Public Market concentrates Napa's appetite in a bright hall: oysters, coffees, fine grocery stores, ice creams, tacos, wines and local products cross without ceremony. It is a convenient stop by the river, more spontaneous than an appointment tasting, to taste several facets of the valley in one place.
Place indismissible
Beringer Vineyards
Beringer Vineyards combines historic cellars, neat gardens and stone buildings in the heart of St. Helena. The tour features an ancient Napa Valley, with tastings, shaded alleys and skated salons, and talks to both cabernet enthusiasts and travellers who are sensitive to high-personality estates.
Nature and panorama
Napa Valley Wine Train
The Napa Valley Wine Train slides its restored cars between Napa, Yountville, Oakville and the rows of vineyards that border the valley. On board, the landscape looks slowly from the table, with meals and tastings according to the formulas, in a more retro than sporty atmosphere.
