Former Resident Writes How To 'Do Napa Like A Local' [VIDEO]

Travel writer and former Napa resident Nancy D. Brown pens a column sharing for visitors the best of things to see and do in Napa Valley.

 "A lot has changed over the years in the world famous Napa Valley wine country. My husband and I lived in downtown Napa in the early 1980s," Brown says in her What a Trip blog.

"While there were plenty of things to see and do in Napa in the day time, the night life was like a vintage California wine in an underground cellar – cold, dusty and waiting to be uncorked. We’ve since moved to the East Bay, but when we visit Northern California wine country I still like to do Napa like a local."
