Located at the Napa Valley Expo fairgrounds. Although not a
place for wine tasting, it's a very popular place for locals—professional and amateur—to get the equipment and supplies
they need to make their own wine, beer and olive oil. You might
be interested, too.
And that's the Napa WineWalksm. We hope you enjoyed it. We also hope you tasted moderately, so you could fully enjoy
each wine.

Located at the Napa Valley Expo fairgrounds. Although not a
place for wine tasting, it's a very popular place for locals—professional and amateur—to get the equipment and supplies
they need to make their own wine, beer and olive oil. You might
be interested, too.
And that's the Napa WineWalksm. We hope you enjoyed it. We also hope you tasted moderately, so you could fully enjoy
each wine.
