2. An Afternoon in the Napa Valley Wine
Country
Blessed
with almost perfect climate for growing grapes, Northern
California has become the most prestigious wine-producing
center in the United States. In Napa, we will view the
hand hewn stone and modern wineries that dot the
vineyards stretching along both sides of the highway.
Growing here are the varietal grapes that produce the
fine wines for which the region is famous - Chardonnay,
Sauvignon Blanc, Fume Blanc, Carbernet Sauvignon, Merlot
and Zinfandel to name but a few.
At
carefully selected wineries, guides will await to lead
you through the processes of fermentation and aging, and
then into the bottling rooms. A tasting of the wines
produced will follow.
Time:
1:00 - 6:30 p.m. from Clark Kerr Campus (after
lunch)
Cost: Ca.
$40.00 per person
