Interesting! Didn’t know a lot of these. An average of 892 million gallons of wine! That sounds like a lot. And only 700 grape growers!
Hi Shruti, That is an amazing fact on how many million of gallons of wine is made in Napa Valley which surprised me. Such a great place to visit.
I guess, I never tried the Napa valley wines (even when in the States). Here, in Spain with Rioja and others, international wines are hard to find… It´s incredible that 90% of wine made in the US comes from California, would love to visit Napa valley one day! #feetdotravel
Hi Anna, Napa Valley has some great wines coming from the vines there. These Trivia Facts are so fascinating especially that 90% of the wine out is from Cali. Hope you get a chance to visit one day. Its always fun to go wine tasting!

Thanks Lisa, The wine trivia facts are an interesting & fun way to learn about Napa Valley . Lots of information I did not know. Hope you get a chance to try some Napa Valley wine 😊
Love these facts, especially as I always thought there were more calories in a glass (maybe that’s because I drink bubbles…and large glasses haha). Have pinned this, thanks for the fun! #feetdotravel
Thanks Angie, I was surprised too about the calories in a glass of wine. 😁 Love the idea of the larger glass for the bubbly. Still think we should keep the calories the same for the larger glass since, it burns more calories to lift the heavier glass 😉 Thanks for pinning!
I had no idea about these facts! Thank you for broadening my knowledge!
Thanks Helena, I thought these facts were fun and interesting to share. I was surprised at some of the information 😊 Thanks for the comment!
I’m not a big wine drinker but I do like to support independent family-owned and run businesses, so it’s really good to hear that most of the Napa Valley wineries are still family-owned! Thanks for sharing 🙂 #TheWeeklyPostcard
Hi Michelle, I was impressed to learned the fact that most Napa Valley wineries are still family owned. Like you, giving our support to independent businesses is a good thing. 😁
I sure learn a few things from reading this post. I had no idea there were so many bubbles in sparkling wine. I knew California made a lot of wine but I’m surprised that it’s 90% of the wine in America. Thanks for sharing on #TheWeeklyPostcard.
Thanks Anisa, Lots of bubbles in a glass of sparkling wine that I never new. That was a first for me to know that California made 90% of the wine in the US. 😊🍷

Thanks for sharing these interesting facts about Napa Valley. I’ve been there a few times, but it never crossed my mind to ask about these things.
