Wine Tasting Napa -- The Experience of a Lifetime

If you love wine, then you should go on a wine tasting Napa Valley excursion. This region of California is one of the most famous wine producing regions in the world. There are hundreds of vineyards and wineries located in the small yet prosperous valley, which is only 5 miles wide and 30 miles long. In this seemingly small area you will find some of the most delicious wines you've ever tasted. Because Napa is such a popular destination for wine lovers, there are a great many guided tours in this region which will take you to a variety of top wineries.

Some of the wineries you will visit will be large ones which mass produce popular wines. Then you will also get to see small wineries which are owned by families who have handed the business down from generation to generation. While the large wineries produce delicious wines, some of the greatest treasures in the wine world can be discovered at these smaller, more quaint wineries and vineyards. As part of your tour, you will get to see how wine is made, stored and bottled. Then of course, there's the tasting.

On an average wine tasting tour you'll get to try many different types of red and white wine of various vintages. You will learn the proper way to taste wine. The first step is to swirl the wine in your glass to gently release its aroma. Once you've swirled and sniffed, you can take that first sip. Let the wine travel around your mouth to get the full flavor, then spit. You can of course swallow the wine but that could lead to unwanted alcohol related consequences on a long tour. Most wineries provide a barrel in which you will spit the wine after you've tasted it.

When going wine tasting Napa Valley should also be enjoyed for its beautiful scenery in addition to its fine wine. You will definitely want to take along a camera to capture memories of your trip. Some tours provide a lovely picnic lunch in an area that overlooks the stunning valley. An overlook is the perfect place to take snapshots of the valley for your photo album. In addition to popular bus tours, there are even limo tours that offer the utmost in luxury. No matter how you travel Napa Valley, you're sure to enjoy your wine tasting adventure!
