Northern California wine-country town at the southern end of Napa Valley, 1 hour north of San Francisco. Downtown Napa (Oxbow Public Market + the riverfront) is the dense walkable core; the valley itself runs north past Yountville, St. Helena, and Calistoga (each its own small dense town). US has no DNV; ESTA 90 days. California state income tax stickiness applies. The structural draws are premium wine-country geography (the Mediterranean climate is identical to Tuscany), Michelin-star restaurant density, and weekend SF-tech-money infrastructure. Genuinely expensive — among the most expensive US ZIPs outside coastal cities.
