Napa valley Singles Tour. Winery tasting vacation

Sonoma and Napa Valley's rolling hills, covered with wildflowers in springtime and growing golden as the vineyards come to bear, are home to dozens of hot springs with alleged curative powers, beautiful hiking and biking trails, and colorful towns known for their rural elegance. Best of all, however, are the 300-plus opportunities to taste some of the world's best wines. Nearly 60% of California's wineries are located in Napa and the parallel Sonoma Valley, together the traditional heart of California's 'Wine Country'. Napa and Sonoma enjoy a nice Californian climate.

Wine grapes were introduced to California in the 1760s by Father Junípero Serra, who planted the so-called 'Mission' variety (a descendant of Sardinian vines brought to North America by the Conquistadors) at the San Diego Mission. European vines were first introduced by Hungarian count Ágoston Haraszthy, who established a commercial vineyard in Sonoma Valley in 1857 and is credited with founding California's modern wine industry. By the late 1860s there were already 50 vintners in the Sonoma and Napa valleys. Today, it has continued to produce wine that has earned the area the title of America's premium wine-producing area; Sonoma and Napa Valley are easily among the world's most famous wine regions.
