We would be remiss not to admire the most famous wine country landscape of all: Napa’s vineyards. Many travelers rave over the beauty of the expansive vineyards at The Meritage Resort & Spa, which produce grapes for Trinitas Cellars. The Meritage offers tours of its vineyards – a great way to take a closer look at Napa’s most precious commodity.

Westwood Hills Park, accessible from Browns Valley Road, an extension of First Street in Napa, is said to offer some of the best views of the city.
