After the California coastline and the redwoods, we entered civilization once again by heading southeast into the Napa Valley region. Found this campground in Napa, which is one of the nicer places we've stayed. From there, went on to tour the countryside.
Black Stallion winery - courtyard sipping area
Wine tasting was a must. Tasted great but expensive. Bottle prices ranged from about $18 to $85.
They displayed each of the grapes they grow and use for production. Not only can you see and touch, but sampling is allowed.
As with most of the wineries in the area, grounds are well manicured.
After touring the countryside, had to stop at the local wine bar - a tasting place with ood on the side.
Next day took a ride on the wine train which runs from Napa up the valley to St. Helena. Midday is a luncheon with wine tastings. Train was about 10 cars long
Our friends Berkley & Karen enjoyed the fun.
