About NorCal Wine Gal 🍷

Hi! I’m Alisha Rose, a Bay Area local who fell in love with Napa Valley on my very first visit in 2017.

Since then, I visit as often as possible & have planned dozens of Napa itineraries for myself, friends, and family.

Now, I’m here to help you do the same, sharing my tips and guides from a traveler’s perspective.

I’ve taken the stress out of planning your first trip to Napa so you can relax, sip on a glass of wine, and enjoy the experience of a lifetime. Cheers! 🥂
