About Napa Valley
Napa Valley became an American Viticultural Area in January 1981. It takes in almost all of Napa County and contains sub-AVAs such as Oakville, Rutherford, Stags Leap District, St. Helena, Howell Mountain and Los Carneros. George Yount planted the first recorded vines in 1838. Charles Krug opened one of the first commercial wineries, at St. Helena, in 1861. Phylloxera, Prohibition and the Depression set the valley back. Quality winemaking returned from the 1960s, and Napa wines won top honours at the 1976 Paris tasting. Cabernet Sauvignon leads, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also grown in a Mediterranean climate on soils from gravelly loam to clay.
