County Executive Office
From the shores of Lake Berryessa and the peak of Mount Saint Helena to the Calistoga natural springs and the sprawling vineyards, Napa County is a rural, scenic and historically-rich community, becoming one of California’s first counties when it achieved statehood in 1850. Home to the Napa Valley Film Festival and the wine auction at Meadowood, Napa County offers many activities to its residents and visitors including fine dining, hiking, kayaking and wine tasting, among many others. We take pride in our agricultural surroundings and created the country’s first agricultural preserve to protect the environment.
