The stunning cover photograph, taken at Chappellet Winery in Saint Helena by photographer Erik Almas, captures the essence of the California lifestyle and the beauty of the Napa Valley.

“We very much look forward to welcoming visitors to the Napa Valley, where they will experience one of the world’s premier wine, food, arts and wellness regions,” stated Clay Gregory, president and CEO for Visit Napa Valley.

Other highlights include the 2015 Official State Map and interspersed regional maps, which feature a combination of must-see destinations and surprises, familiarizing travelers with California’s lesser-known wonders.
