The over 400 wineries include some famous wine cellars and fantastic family-owned wineries. And even if wine isn’t your cup of tea – you can still enjoy the wine country’s world class restaurants and breathtaking views.

More About Napa Valley

The legendary Napa Valley is one of the most popular destinations in North America, welcoming an estimated five million visitors each year.

And although Napa is neither the largest nor the oldest wine region in North America, its definitely the most widely known, across the world. People come here for wonderful wines, top-notch cuisine, and picturesque scenery, and you find it all in abundance here.

Castello di Amorosa

One of the key attractions, if you’re in the Napa Valley, is the ‘Castello di Amorosa’ – named a “must-see destination” by The Wall Street Journal!

Castello di Amorosa

The Castello di Amorosa is a huge, authentic, medieval castle that took 14 years to build, stone by stone. The Castello has over 100 rooms, most of which are used for wine-making and wine storage. It stands four stories high, with an equal number of levels underground.

Reminiscent of Old World castles, the Castello features a drawbridge and moat, a dungeon and torture chamber, secret passageways, courtyards, loggias, a church, and a 12,000-square-foot wine barrel room, constructed with ancient Roman cross-vaulted ceilings.

Most of the vines at Castello di Amorosa grow on hillsides that provide optimal growing conditions. The vines are hand farmed, and sustainable practices are used.

Bollywood in Napa Valley

Canadian actress Lisa Ray (has worked in a few Bollywood movies as well) and Jason Dehni had exchanged vows in California’s scenic Napa Valley. The wedding was done in the traditional Indian style.
