	Napa County Wine Napa County is the best-known county (in wine terms at least) in the larger North Coast AVA of California, largely because it includes the world-famous Napa Valley AVA, which covers most of the region. Napa County lies between Yolo County to the east and Sonoma County to the west. Napa township, the county seat, is located in the southern quarter of the county, just 35 miles (55km) from downtown San Francisco. All local wine producers have the right to use the Napa County AVA on their wine labels but few do, opting instead to use more location-specific appellations such as the prestigious Napa Valley, Carneros, Yountville, Mount Veeder or Howell Mountain. Naturally, the options open to them depend entirely on the location of their vineyards. The first grape vines in Napa County were planted in the late 1830s by an early settler, George Calvert Yount (from whom the key wine town of Yountville takes its). The Napa Valley is home to Beringer Vineyards, the county's oldest continuously operated winery, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A Mediterranean climate prevails here, with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters (the average temperature in August is 92F/27.8C, falling to 37F/2.8C in the winter). As one of California's smaller counties, Napa County covers a total of 485,120 acres (196,321ha) with less than 10% of the land under vine. Perhaps surprisingly, despite its formidable reputation the Napa Valley represents just 4% of California's total wine production, but accounts for 30% of the state's wine economy. Napa County's latitude of 38 degrees north places it parallel with such southerly European vineyard areas as Portugal's Setubal Peninsula, Alicante in Spain, Italy's Calabria and the Greek Ionian Islands. While latitude is far from the be-all-and-end-all of climatology, this does give some indication of how warm Napa Valley summer afternoons can be.
