California Wine Country
There were no more than twenty wineries in Napa Valley in 1975, but that number has grown to 200 today. The Sonoma County has a looser web of vineyards, and there are 200 wineries there; plus development of the land is soon to include the cool Carneros region, at the tip of San Francisco Bay, the ideal place for chardonnay grape to flourish.
At least 120 wineries have opened within the combined regions that constitute the California Wine Country during the last seven years. Many individual grape farmers produce their own wines instead of selling their produce to larger wineries. Smaller boutique wineries, as a consequence, harvest cheaper but equally excellent wines that grabbed the interest of connoisseurs and critics alike. Larger wineries consolidate the land and aggressively expand their varietals.
The Wine Country has more to offer than its taste of wine. Luxury vacation and tour packages are offered for those who seek relaxation and an experience of the rejuvenating local traditions. Calistoga is known for its ideal weather and attractions such as mud baths full of volcanic ash. St. Helena, Sonoma, and other towns also have full-service spas. You can dine at good restaurants and take hot-air balloon riding over vineyards or go biking through them.
The California Wine Country is a treasured piece of land and a tradition of the state. It has generated much revenue since its establishment in the nineteenth century. California capitalizes on its enology and viticulture. Fascinated by its opulent winemaking tradition, temperature, and soil, new winemakers and vineyard owners and the new generation of winegrowers give rise to this California Country wine resurgence.
Over 500,000 visitors come to see the California Wine Country yearly. The region has become ideal for recreational activities such as camping and fishing and even other sports-related functions.
