Napa is located in the north coast of California and lies in the middle of the Vaca Mountain Range and the Mayacamas Mountain Range. As a result of the rising sea levels in the valley, the soil is perfect for the production of quality grapes. The grape vines that sprout here are plentiful enough to maintain many wineries located in the Valley. The climate conditions vary from the southern end and the northern end. The southern end of the valley is cooler during the growing season. In contrast, the northern end is much warmer. This is due to the openness at the southern end and the northern end being shielded by the San Pablo Bay. Though these conditions differ, the result is same. That is, a grape harvest that is of great quality for making fine wine. There are many popular wineries in The Napa Valley.
