Napa Valley

Probably the most famous wine-growing area in California's North Coast region and also in the USA. The name Napa comes from the indigenous natives and probably means house. It is by far the largest part of the political district of Napa County, but is also often used as a synonym for it. People usually say Napa Valley but not so rarely mean Napa County. This is also helped by the fact that the AVA designation Napa Valley can be used as an alternative for wines from the whole of Napa County. At the entrance to the valley there is a large sign with the self-confident claim "Welcome to this world famous wine growing region", as well as a quote from the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) "wine is bottled poetry".
