I was finally able to experience Napa Valley (and others) and it was amazing.
Let’s start with the wineries I visited:
- Artesa
- Domaine Carneros
- Mondavi
- Jordan
- Frog’s Leap
- Beringer
- Silver Oak
- Peju
- Thomas Fogarty
- Concannon
- Wente
Each winery offered a completely different experience.
For example, the tour & tasting at Jordan was incredible. I really enjoyed their Cabernet Sauvignon’s. It’s definitely an experience I would do again. You can even make it a weekend stay if you want.
Even though I’m quite familiar with Beringer wines, I had no idea that their Private Reserve Chardonnay was so good. Had I not tried their tasting, I would have never known this.
Concannon & Wente are wineries in Livermore, California. But don’t let that distract you. They produce excellent wines.
Overall surprises:
- Wineries producing Meritage & French Colombard
- Jordan uses egg whites in their fermentation process
