Probably one of my favorite regions, Carneros has over 20 spectacular wineries (out of the almost 500 in Napa/Sonoma!) but these are my top three that I'd recommend for an unforgettable and unique experience.

If you haven't seen my part 1 (covering Calistoga & St. Helena to the far north end of Napa), I offer some tips and advice for planning your wine country vacation so stop there afterwards.
