The mesmerizing scenic beauty enhances the romance of this little island. Get ready for the romantic trip of a lifetime!

For a taste of timeless romance and some of the best vintages of wine in the world, make Napa Valley your destination. With the fragrance of wine in the air, superlative epicurean delights, and charming bed and breakfasts, you will revel in the simple pleasures of being together.

Situated an hour's drive north of San Francisco, Napa Valley is a great getaway idea for a weekend, although it is equally apt for a longer and more leisurely holiday. You will be in awe of the many great wines, luxurious spas, and fine restaurants in Napa Valley, as well as interesting cultural events and the beautiful rolling hills and colorful countryside.

Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley together compose the traditional wine country of Northern California, often referred to as the vintner capital of the USA. A magnet for those who appreciate the good life, the area is famous for the medicinal hot springs and spas that soothe the soul and pamper the senses.

The Valley is dotted with picturesque towns of varying size, with Napa being the financial and cultural nerve center. Calistoga, also in the valley, is noted for its mud baths and spas. Sonoma, in Sonoma Valley, is less crowded than Napa, and thus quieter, but just as alluring.

If you and your partner are the athletic type, then you might want to explore Napa and Sonoma on your bicycles. The numerous biking trails are great and you can cycle from one vineyard to another. Not only is cycling fun, it will help eliminate those extra calories you will end up taking in, considering the great cuisine and wine in the area.

However, if you want to just relax and enjoy yourself, and not necessarily power your own way around, the valley is just as much fun to explore by car. In fact, a limousine tour to and around Napa is considered the most amazing way to explore the area. Although more expensive, a limousine tour is perfect for a day trip to Napa, as it allows you to savor the wines without the worry of driving back, while also providing the privacy that you don't get with bus and shuttle tours. Limousines also add that extra romantic touch to a day of celebrating.

Another fabulous way to take in the beauty of the valley is to hop aboard the Napa Valley Wine Train that takes you through all the important vineyards, and allows you to see the sights and hear the sounds of Napa while you taste the best of vintage wines and gourmet food.

The area also boasts of fantastic inns and hotels, considered the last word in hospitality. They range from the super plush to less grand, but just as captivating options.

At the end of the day when you are replete with food and wine and just want to watch the sun set, or curl up and talk while you have that one last nightcap - you can drink to the pleasing ambience of your accommodation and congratulate yourself on making the right decision-by coming to the Napa Valley.
