Give downtown Napa some of your time! Most great wine towns are great overall tourism towns, and that means by definition they’re great shopping towns as well. And that definition is a perfect one for Napa, where world-class wineries and tasting rooms are close neighbors with great restaurants, fine clothing and works of art, and the kind of gifts that preserve your memory of a wonderful visit to Napa Valley wine country for a lifetime.
And the best place to begin and end a day of sampling everything Napa’s retailers have to offer is at our Napa Bed and Breakfast, where you’ll wake up in comfort after a good night’s sleep, get sent on your way with a delicious and hearty breakfast, and return to relax with — what else? — wine poolside at our outdoor patio or in the privacy of your luxuriously appointed guest room.
And better yet, we’re an easy drive to just about everything you’ll want to see in downtown Napa, so plan your visit right away and reserve your room at our Napa Bed and Breakfast today!
