Legendary Napa Valley has become prominent as America’s great wine capital since the “Judgement of Paris” in 1976.  Just an hours drive North from San Francisco, Napa Valley is an oasis for the food and wine enthusiast within. Napa consists of 16 distinct American Viticulture Areas as the variance of terroir has a wide range in such a small valley and is home to over 650 wineries. Given these stats, many do not realize that Napa’s wine production accounts for only 4% of California’s total wine output. This helps put the quality and integrity of the wine from this region in perspective.  We invite you to explore further under our guidance, as we take you deeper into this truly incredible world of wine. WCD is proud to offer the best of the best when it comes to event planning in Napa Valley.
