Napa Valley - Visit to the Vineyard, Winery

Today we're driving to Napa Valley, which is located north of San Francisco. The whole journey to travel from Campbell to Napa Valley took us 3 hours. When we arrived there, we visited this place called Sterling Vineyard. It is said that this vineyard is one of the best place to visit for winery and wine testing. We didn't take the tour for the winery, but instead we just hang around vineyard. If we wanted to visit the winery, we have to pay like USD 20 for the whole tour. One thing about this Sterling Vineyard is that you need to take cable car to go up to the winery. Here are some pictures of this place.





It is not the season for the grape yet, thus we couldn't see any grapes at all.

Next, we visited Sattui Vineyard, which is located south to Sterling Vineyard. Here' we're able to go into their storage room to see the barrel that contains the wine. We didn't do any wine testing. Sattui is more like a place for picnic rather than wine testing. Here, there will be people prepare BBQ meal like pork rib, prawns, filet salmon, etc. Here's some pictures of the place.
