In California's Napa Valley， light shines from the windows of a large house built in the 1800s. Inside， visitors study old tools and taste new wine products.

1881 Napa， a wine history museum， opened this month in Oakville， California. Oakville is about 97 kilometers north of San Francisco.

The museum offers self-guided tours explaining the history of Napa Valley and the first people to call it home. Visitors can inspect a collection of rare wine-making tools， such asscalders， filters，spigotsand soil injectors. A huge copy of an 1895 map of Napa County looks down on the room from above.

The Boisset Collection operateswineriesin California， France and Canada. The familyowned business purchased the 145-year-old redesigned house earlier this year. It also bought the nearby Oakville Grocery， which is said to be California's oldest continuously operating grocery store.

From 1881 Napa， one can see the Mayacamas Mountains and the famous To Kalon Vineyard across the street at the Robert Mondavi Winery.

The museum is open to the public， and is free to visit. The ground floor holds a tasting room， where visitors can examine soil samples and read about vineyards in different parts of Napa Valley. They also can compare tastes of wines from cooler and warmer areas， hillsides and the valley floor.

One tasting， called “Embark on a Journey Throughout the Valley”， gives visitors a chance to try 12 kinds of red wine， known ascabernet sauvignons.

“We want to create a destination that celebrates Napa's long history while exploring Napa’s incredibly diverse terroirs，” said Boisset Collection's chief， Jean-Charles Boisset. He spoke to The Associated Press.
