Some of the world\u2019s best wine is made and bottled in this very special valley. Just East of the city, you will escape to find acres of manicured farmland. You won't hear the bustle of traffic here. Napa Valley is the perfect escape where you can spend your days jumping from vineyard to vineyard tasting the exceptional world class wine that the US has to offer. This is also an amazing place to wind down to start your road-trip. Once you have had your fill of wine, you are ready to start driving down Interstate 80 to your second destination.\r\n
