Napa Valley WineriesJohn SarasWine Country California is called a region of Northern California, known by its premium wine-growing region since the year 1838. In Wine Country California there are over 200 wineries The area includes Napa Valley in Napa County, and the Sonoma Valley, Alexander Valley and Russian River Valley in Sonoma County Some of the region's major communities include Kenwood, Healdsburg, Sonoma, Santa Rosa, Napa, Calistoga, Geyserville, Bodega Bay, historic Fort Ross, and Ukiah. Wine Country proper is generally regarded as the combined counties of Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake, but wine grapes are harvested throughout much of northern California. Napa Valley Wineries Napa Valley is considered to be one of the most important American viticultural areas in California and the United States. From the beginning of twentieth century there were more that 140 wineries. Some of the most important Napa Valley wineries that still exists in California state are Charles Krug Winery, Chateau Montelena and Beringer. Viticulture in Napa suffered especially in the period of alcohol prohibition that started in 1920. Also many vines were destroyed by a root louse called phylloxera. Because of these two events many vineries had to stop doing business. After the Second World War, the wine industry in Napa was on the rise again. The region reputation was growing especially after the results of the famous Paris Wine Tasting of 1976, where judges considered Napa Valley Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon better than several famous French labels in a blind tasting format. Today there are more than 200 wineries in the Napa region of California. There are many organized Napa valley wine tours where California tourists can see many famous wineries and taste these world-famous wines. Many different grape varieties are being grown like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Zinfandel, and other popular varietals. Each year over 5 million tourists visit Napa Valley each year. It is visited by as many as five million people each year, making it the second most popular tourist destination in the state, second only to Disneyland. . Napa Valley Wineries
