The Napa Valley is widely thought of as one of the West's finest places to call home. Known mostly for its wines, the area offers a diverse business climate. In the beginning, settlers planted vineyards with cuttings supplied by Catholic priests from Sonoma and San Rafael. In 1861, Riesling cuttings were introduced to the Valley and, from these small beginnings, Napa Valley has become noted as one of the premier wine-making regions of the world. Whether it’s food, wine, beautiful scenery, relaxation or culture that you desire, the city of Napa has it all - including rolling hills, lush vineyards and the pleasing year-round climate for which California is famous.
