The World’s Most Popular Game: MONOPOLY has a Napa Valley Inspired Edition Featuring Napa Cellars Winery, Among Other Local Businesses and Landmarks
ST. HELENA, Calif., Oct. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Top Trumps USA, the American division of Winning Moves International (creators of classic games and puzzles) today releases MONOPOLY Napa Valley Edition, under license from Hasbro, a global branded entertainment company. MONOPOLY Napa Valley Edition replaces the perennial board game’s famous Atlantic City squares (from Boardwalk to Park Place) with representations of much-loved Napa Valley cultural sites, historic landmarks, and time-honored businesses, alongside customized Community Chest and Chance playing cards to ensure each detail of the game pays homage to the iconic wine region destination.
Napa Cellars, an Oakville tasting room and winery deeply rooted in the heart of Napa Valley for nearly 50 years, is among the properties featured on the board. Beyond its square between “Free Parking” and “Chance” spaces on the Napa Valley edition of the iconic MONOPOLY board, the winery can be found on a Chance playing card, which reads “The sun is shining and Napa Cellars is calling. Make a reservation for a picnic amongst the vines. Pay 150.” Napa Cellars can also be found on a Community Chest playing card, which reads: “Napa Cellars consulted you to craft the next vintage. Collect 200.”
“We’re thrilled to launch MONOPOLY Napa Valley Edition in time for the holidays and to celebrate one of the most beloved, culturally rich and geographically beautiful wine regions in the world. We’ve spent months creating a portrayal of the area’s dynamic communities that we hope locals and visitors alike will enjoy for years to come,” says Jennifer Tripsea, a representative from Top Trumps USA. “We’ve incorporated important feedback from locals to truly make this a fun and engaging game for Napa Valley residents and beyond.”
MONOPOLY Napa Valley Edition is available for $39.95 on Amazon, CVS and www.toptrumps.us. The game is also for sale in several local retailers, including Napa Cellars’ Oakville tasting room along historic Highway 29.
About Napa Cellars
A true Napa Valley classic since 1976, Napa Cellars has been making wine in Oakville for nearly 50 years. Our winery sits on the original five acres that established Napa Cellars in 1976 along historic Highway 29. We still welcome guests to our tasting room in the geodesic dome commissioned by founder Charlie Woods. And we tip our hats to the prominent Napa families, from the Franks to the Rombauers, who graced our cellar during its storied early days. Today – with a winning portfolio crafted by winemaker Joe Shirley for more than a decade – we carve our own path, building on the historic region’s rich heritage with classic, unmistakable expressions of Napa Valley.
