Napa Valley California

On Saturday, we drove to Napa Valley, the main wine growing region in the United States. Located in Northern California, Napa Valley is renowned to contain both the soil and the climate that is considered one of the best in the world for growing wine grapes. Hence, daddy and mommy have always wanted to visit the wineries, and enjoy the pleasant climate and beautiful scenery in Napa Valley. Finally, we had a chance to do so in this long weekend. Thanks to daddy who insisted on this getaway.

Undeniably, it was a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of the city life in berkeley. It has been quite awhile since we enjoy the tranquility of the suburb and the drive along the valley made us feel as if we were back in the loving arms of Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvannia, a place that we have so many fond memories.

Our little girl had fun scampering around in the vineyard.



Frankly, fall is not the best season to visit the valley. Most of the grapes have been harvested. Those that are left are mostly dried up.

Different regions of the valley produce wines of different flavours. We visited two wineries, Monticello and Miner family winery.

Cheers!

Can I join in the fun too?

Before we left, we bought a bottle of red wine from the Miner family winery . Cheers, Napa Valley!
