The Town of Angwin

Angwin is the perfect starting point to explore Howell Mountain in the renowned Napa Valley. Located just below the summit of Howell Mountain, it rises to the east of Napa Valley and is one of the world’s most well-known wine-growing appellations. The mountain’s height allows for the grapes to be drenched in sun and cool mountain air, while its rocky soil forces the vines to root deeply, creating complex flavors that Howell Mountain wines are famous for. At an elevation of about 1,800 feet, Angwin is a quaint little town situated at a single crossroad, hosting a small shopping center on one side and the campus of Pacific Union College on the other.
