Description:
For a taste of medieval Europe in Napa, head to this 121,000-square-foot stone castle. The eight-level structure, with 90 feet of caves, a dungeon, and torture chamber, is surprisingly authentic (as evidenced by achy legs and feet after tromping on cobblestones). It's $10 to sample a variety of wines, including chardonnay, merlot, cabernet, and dessert wines (bottles are steeply priced btw. $30 and $75), and $25 to $30 for the 2-hour tour ($15 for children 10 or older; under 10 are not permitted). Though the castle is a far cry from quintessential Wine Country (some liken it to Disneyland), it is fun to browse this stunning architectural accomplishment.
