Napa Valley is a famous wine-growing region in California, USA. It is located in Napa County, to the north of the San Francisco Bay Area. The name Napa is said to be a Native American word that has been variously translated.
Today Napa Valley is one of the top wine-growing regions of the world, on par with the top-level wine regions of France, Italy and Spain. This came about as recently as the 1960s. Before that, Napa County produced a variety of crops. Being warmer in summer, Napa Valley favors varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
