Famous as the gateway to world-famous Wine Country, Napa is a dynamic destination on its own. It is home to several tasting bars and wine producers to visit before venturing further afield.

Beyond the illustrious wineries, Napa is rapidly developing its own stellar reputation for big-name entertainment, theatrical performances and outdoor adventures. With five-star dining destinations co-existing with cute markets to stock a picnic, you can find a wide selection of cuisines at every price range.

Napa's Riverfront along the Napa River serves as its downtown, an appealing collection of premier shops, galleries, restaurants, entertainment and hotel accommodations at the very heart of the city. The Riverfront Residences are a collection of striking Venetian-style dwellings along the river.

The Sonoma County Hot Air Balloon Classic lifts off from nearby Windsor every June, and meanwhile, local balloon pilots help adventurous visitors cross that item off their bucket lists. A quick drive north leads to Lake Berryessa, and its year-round offerings of water sports and recreation.

Napa is an eclectic collection of smaller neighborhoods offering a variety of lifestyles, architecture and culture. From restored older homes to new marina homes and condos, Napa is an up-and-coming community that enjoys its diversity and natural beauty.
