Napa Valley Harvest 2008
In celebration of harvest, members of the Napa Valley Vintners share a toast to this wonderful time of year in Napa Valley with San Francisco, the gateway to America's legendary wine region.
Producing only 4% of the wine made in California, Napa Valley is one of the smallest, yet most diverse and renowned winegrowing regions in the world. Napa Valley's rich heritage and reputation are testament to this, as this winegrowing region enjoys the best of all scenarios for fine grapes, superb wines and great diversity of style.
Member wineries of the Napa Valley Vintners partner with the following San Francisco restaurants and wine shops to celebrate Napa Valley Harvest 2008, and invite you to taste for yourself Napa Valley's legendary wines.
