Mother Nature is adding some natural chill to wine made in Napa Valley — some areas of California’s most famous wine-growing region are covered in snow — and the images coming out of Napa Valley are stunning.
Seriously, you’ve probably never seen Napa quite like this … an unprecedented winter storm is making it snow at lower than normal elevations all across California, with some wineries in Napa Valley getting up to a foot of snow!!!
Three famous vineyards on Napa’s famed Howell Mountain were blanketed in snow Friday morning … including 10 to 12 inches at Neal Family Vineyards.
As you can see, the wineries have naturally transformed into a winter wonderland … with Arkenstone and CADE Estate also getting tons of snow dumped from the heavens above. What’s particularly crazy, Napa’s elevation is barely above sea level … making the snow that much more of a rarity.
Napa Valley wineries may get occasional dustings of snowfall or snow flurries every now and then … but a foot of snow is super rare and almost unheard of around these parts.
Frosé, anyone???
