What makes Napa Valley unlike any other destination you may be looking to visit on your next getaway? Pour yourself a glass of wine, preferably from Napa, and let us explain! In addition to being home to some renowned Michelin rated restaurants, amazing hotels and lodging, hiking and other outdoor activities, it is one of the most distinguished wine countries in the world. Picture rolling hills in beautiful California all covered in perfectly aligned and endless rows of vineyards. Nestled within the vineyards lie the almost five hundred wineries in Napa CA, all working hard to make some of the best wine in the world.

Visiting Napa Valley at various times throughout the year and in different seasons is very interesting as the vines will always tell a new story of what process of the growing cycle they are in. Witnessing the different stages of the growth cycle for the vineyards is truly a beautiful experience. No matter what season the vines may be in, rain or shine, winter or summer, Napa Valley is always beautiful.

If you have the chance to stroll through the vineyards at one of the wineries in Napa CA this time of year, you are in for a real treat! Currently, the vines have just concluded the flowering phase of their growth cycle. The next step is one of the most important parts for your favorite wineries as we want to make sure we have more wine for your glass. The flowers grown on the vines will be fertilized and produce a seed. This is crucial as not all of the flowers will be fertilized - so the more fertilized flowers with seed and grape berry, the more wine! This will allow the winemaker to see what to expect before harvest begins in the early fall weather.

Not only is the process an important one for our favorite wines, but definitely a beautiful one. Some of the best wineries in Napa will allow you to stop at the vineyards on your tour and tasting to see the process up close. Getting to observe this cycle while sipping on a glass of beautifully balanced wine among rolling hills in Northern California makes Napa unlike any other travel destination.
