Napa Valley Winery Maps Los Carneros Edition: 400 Winery Directory, Touring & Tasting Tips

By Lahni Deamicis and Ralph Deamicis

Good maps matter because this 30 mile-long by 5 mile-wide valley, filled with great wineries and restaurants, can be hard to navigate. The roads have limited signage and GPS is sketchy on those narrow, winding roads up canyons and hillsides. The maps are easy to use when you're driving because they divide the valley into twelve sections and where the wineries are concentrated, they are split between east (Silverado Trail) and west (Highway 29). There are also maps of the downtowns with hotels, restaurants and tasting rooms. Two brief chapters. 'Planning an Itinerary' and 'The ABC's of Wine Tasting' also provide valuable insights. The Winery Directory, written by guides who have been there, is filled will helpful details and each listing points to a map. For more information visit AmicisTours.com. The Los Carneros district, translated as The Rams, first appeared on maps as a Spanish land grant in the 1820's, because the rolling hills and winds rolling in off the San Pablo Bay made it a perfect place for their flocks. But then in the 1970's winemakers realized that the cool weather and brilliant sunshine was ideal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and in the mid-1980's the famous European sparkling wine houses began making a home here. When the elegant Carneros Resort and Spa opened in 2003 it established Los Carneros as a world class destination.
