Napa and the towns that surround it are an epicurean delight. Situated in a Mediterranean climate with cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers, the area's geography is perfect for growing wine, olives, flowers and lots more.
Talk about a great lifestyle ...
What's better than time spent visiting vineyards, sampling wine, cheese and local fare as the sun shines to ripen grapes spread in all directions. In the city of Napa and surrounding valley, a little bit of old and little bit of new are mixed in a vibrant, small downtown. Recognized as one of the best places to live in America, Napa offers a gourmet marketplace, quirky shops, fun restaurants and swanky hotels. Major employers include wineries, resorts, banks and the local hospital. It certainly is a place to consider to ... travel or move.
