Gondola Rides A Hidden Napa Gem: Photos Of The Week

NAPA, CA — Local photographer Al Francis recently captured photos of couples enjoying gondola rides on the Napa River. Looks refreshing, doesn't it?

Fun Facts: Napa Valley Gondola offers authentic Venetian gondola cruises on the Napa River, a hidden gem. Each gondolier creates a unique experience by singing in Italian, playing some music, or sharing stories of the significance of the Napa River and the history of gondolas as they row you gently along. While favored by couples, each authentic, handcrafted Venetian gondola can hold up to six passengers of any age. For more information, go to Napavalleygondola.com.

Thanks so much for sharing, Al!
