Nowhere blesses the whims and tantalizes the senses quite like the valleys of Napa and Sonoma, Californias garden of earthly delights.
Soak in a soothing mud bath. Smell lavender wafting through the valley as you lounge poolside. Picnic on farmstead cheese and figs still warm from the sun. Dine on food prepared by some of the worlds best chefs from ingredients cultivated only a few feet away.
And I havent even started talking about the wine. Vines of chardonnay, cabernet, zinfandel, and sauvignon blanc grapesjust to name a fewcover the land in lush ribbed acres, while nearby tasting rooms of all sizes pour expertly crafted samples.
Wine has been integral to life here since the Spanish missionaries arrived and planted the first grapevines. It was later perfected by 19th-century European immigrants, who built the grand estates that today stand as monuments to their accomplishments.
Although it only produces 4 percent of the states wine, Napa, with its world-class wineries, constellation of Michelin-starred restaurants, and luxurious spas, is the beating heart of Wine Country. Despite lacking the same name recognition as its neighbor, Sonoma County often offers more diversity. It is home to sleepy villages, small farms, laid-back wineries, and the historic towns of Sonoma and Healdsburg. Eventually, the bucolic farmland yields to towering redwoods and the impressive and often unruly Russian River. Here, backpacks and canoes replace mud baths and massages, beer rivals wine for accolades and devotees, and celebrated farm-to-table restaurants rarely require a reservation.

It is hard to know whether the spirit of Bacchus came with the wine, or if it was already here. Either way, you will find it in Napa and Sonoma: along flat valley floors that invite bicycle tours through vineyards heavy with fruit, on top of rugged mountaintops and wild rivers, and in piping hot mineral pools, colorful country stores, and chic upscale boutiques. And through it all, theres enough farm-fresh food and award-winning wine to keep you fueled and inspired. There is no better place to savor the moment.

This is California Wine Country, as far as many people are concernedarguably the most important winemaking region in the state with a name that is recognized around the world. The 30-mile-long Napa Valley is a valley of contrasts. Some 16 distinct appellations are home to hundreds of wineries, ranging from the historic big names that make millions of cases of wine per year down to more modest wineries turning out some of Californias best cabernet sauvignons. It can be expensive and crowded in Napa, yet its not hard to find pockets of rural tranquility as you venture off the beaten path.
Although it now lives in the cultural shadow of the Napa Valley, this is ground zero not only for Californias modern wine industry but for California itself. The notable town of Sonoma is thoroughly at peace with itself, as though worn out from the tumultuous series of events more than 150 years ago that gave birth to the state. Life is more laid-back (and cheaper) here than in the larger, more famous neighboring valley, yet there are still plenty of cultural, culinary, and outdoor attractions alongside the first-class wineries, from the sleepy town of Kenwood to the cool flatlands of Los Carneros.
If any region epitomizes the diversity of Californias Wine Country, it is northern Sonoma, where scenery and wines from the multitude of hills and small valleys often have little in common other than their Sonoma County address. The cool, lush Russian River Valley has forests, rivers, small farms, and some of the best pinot noir and chardonnay in California. The warmer Dry Creek Valley and Alexander Valley are home to big red wines from small family-owned wineries. Bordering all three regions is the fascinating town of Healdsburg, itself a mix of the upscale and down-home.
