Sterling Vineyards
A white, Greek-style winery perched on a hilltop. Ride an aerial tram up, then follow a self-guided tasting route with views over Napa Valley.
Sterling Vineyards sits on a hilltop about 90 meters high, just south of Calistoga. Its white buildings are modeled on the Greek island of Santorini. Visitors ride an aerial tram up the hill, with views over the vineyards along the way. At the top, a self-guided route takes you to tasting terraces, where you can look out over the northern part of Napa Valley and Mount Saint Helena. Admission, which includes the tram and tastings, starts at about US$50. Operating arrangements have changed in recent years, so check the official website before you go.
