Carneros Resort | visit Napa

Carneros Resort and Spa is a resort in the Napa Valley wine country, just one hour north of San Francisco. We just spent two nights over Thanksgiving at Carneros — more about our stay in a later blog post — but yesterday we enjoyed a 4.3 mile walk on country roads near Carneros. The concierge can give you an easy-to-follow map.

Though the harvest is done, we still enjoyed some spectacular scenery — the luxurious curves of hillside planted with vines, red barns, small ponds reflecting trees clad in autumn colors, and the parallel lines so typical of wine country. I always say that travel is my excuse for photography ... and I came back from this trip with half a dozen favorites.

Though the sun was shining and the sky was blue, I decided to turn these photographs into black and white. I hope they give you a taste for what you can expect in the Carneros region of the Napa Valley.
