Napa Valley – Teil2 – Wineries
22.September.2005 admin
Die Sip 'n' Cycle Tour von Getaway Adventures
One of our most popular trips. This is an off the beaten path look at the scenic upper Napa Valley. You�'ll travel along country lanes to small, family owned wineries that truly represent the Napa Valley. We�'ve selected wineries – large and small, historic and modern, smaller "one man shows" to extraordinary "Shrines to Wine". Along the way you�'ll taste Chardonnay, Merlot and cabernet Sauvignon among others. You�'ll tour a winery to see how grapes are made into wine, as well as a champagne cellar to see how Champagne is made. All in all, you�'ll travel 10 to 17 miles over mostly flat, easy terrain.Ein 6 Stunden Trip kostet $115 pro Person und ist ein einmaliges Erlebnis!
Swanson Vineyards Salon, www.swansonvineyards.com
Swanson is also known for producing smaller quantities of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Rosato, and Late Harvest Semillon. All Swanson wines are 100% estate grown, produced and bottled.Zahtila Vineyards www.zahtilavineyards.comAt Zahtila Vineyards, wines are handcrafted in limited quantities with grapes sourced from some of California�'s most celebrated winegrowing estates. The goal is exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel that reflects the rich history and character of the region. Zahtila Vineyards�' winemaking style is inspired by a passion for creating wines as a complement to food that is shared around the table with family and friends.Chateau Montelena http://www.montelena.comWe defined the Chateau Montelena style in 1972 – fruit, first and foremost, balanced by an underlying structure of natural acidity for an elegant and balanced wine that provides both drinkability and ageability.
Winemaking at Chateau Montelena is regarded as a continuous process that begins in the vineyard, which is why we use the term "winegrowing". Exceptional wine can only be made with exceptional grapes.Tolle Cabernet Sauvignon Weine!
Im naechsten Teil werde ich noch ein paar Wineries vorstellen, und mich dann den Restaurants und Hotels des Napa Valleys widmen.
