Napa Valley Wine Tasting

The beautiful Napa Valley, which lies to the north of San Francisco Bay, produces some of California’s greatest Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot-Cabernet Franc blends - powerful, full-bodied wines with the potential to age 10 years, but with suppleness and fruitiness too. The region has also produced some impressively crisp, elegant, yet richly buttery and complex Chardonnays.


Hestan Winery, the rising star of Napa Valley, produced its first vintage in 2002 and was named by Wine Spectator as Napa’s Impressive Newcomers, listed among the 10 names "you should know and search out in your quest for the best".
