After a scenic morning shuttle, arrive at the Bale Grist Mill and Bothe-Napa Valley State Park. Your hike meanders through quiet redwood and oak forest before reaching a world-famous winery, where sparkling wines are crafted using the Méthode Champenoise. This technique gives Champagne and other high-quality sparkling wines their fine, persistent bubbles and layered flavors, from crisp green apple to creamy brioche notes.
