Napa Valley is a renowned wine region in California, consisting of a series of valleys that cradle several celebrated wineries and vineyards. When spoken, the name combines the city-based toponym Napa with the valley descriptor, yielding a two-word proper noun commonly used in tourism, gastronomy, and viticulture discourse. The pronunciation emphasizes the first syllable of Napa and a clear, non-rhotic “Valley” in many contexts.
