If you are planning to have a wine country vacation this summer, nothing could be better than North California. This region of the United States of America has been famous for growing finest kinds of grapes and for producing the best-tasting wines in the whole world since 1838; thus, the place is known as the “Wine Country.” There are about 200 premium wineries in North California, particularly in the valleys of Napa, Sonoma, Alexander and Russian River. Each offers a splendid combination of first-class wines, mouth watering cuisine, lush valleys, calm surroundings and crisp fresh air—truly a great treat for wine and nature lovers.

Happening from July 14 till July 23 is the 36th Annual Mozart Festival, a celebration that commemorates Mozart’s birthday. You can join in the celebration filled with concerts, orchestras, musical presentations, film showing, soirees, and so much more—all inspired by classical music not only of Mozart but of Beethoven and Shostakovich as well. The celebration is countrywide so you are sure to have a great taste of classical-music-wine-combo wherever you wish to go in the Wine Country. A lot of hotels are offering special packages this time of the year so you can definitely look forward to saving a great deal on your vacation this summer.
