June 2007

    We stopped in the city of Napa and checked for local advice at the Tourism & Information Center. We received some good advice from one of the local residents. He also told us that the Napa Valley has some 450 wineries and most are open to the public - if the gate is open, drive in.
   We found that most had signs with their hours posted and most offered free tours. They also have wine bars, souvenir shops, and wine shops.
   Mumm Winery was recommended for the quality of its tour and it was a good choice.
