There’s a very good reason that the Napa Valley and the Sonoma Valley County are considered the best of the best for wine as they sit shoulder- to-shoulder just north of the San Francisco Bay. And there’s no better time to go than autumn, as it is harvest time and the weather is sublime. It doesn’t have to be the busy fall harvest season to plan a trip to those two Northern California gems. If you’re a foodie, go at any time of the year for an unforgettable gastronomic experience.
Napa wineries used to simply offer wine tastings. Today, it’s common for Napa wineries to have talented chefs creating five (or more)-course meals during daytime hours. Sequoia Grove Winery sits right in the heart of Napa’s famed Oakville and Rutherford AVAs on Route 29, and their Cabernets reflect the qualities of their terroir. At the winery, under those towering sequoia trees, do the “A Taste for Cabernet” wine and food pairing for tastes of older Cab vintages married to salmon, duck breast and other seasonal dishes.
