Indulge in a Bed & Breakfast: Almost a forgotten luxury of relaxation from a bygone day, this charming concept still exists but with a decidedly modern twist. Live like a local, in a bed and breakfast tucked amongst the vines. Most of us locals don’t have gourmet breakfasts waiting for us, so indulge in a B&B in the Napa Valley. Forget online home swapping sites and get outstanding personal touches in a gorgeous home.

Nestled among the vineyards of St. Helena, you will have a magical bed & breakfast experience… with a five star brunch to greet you every morning. Book here to take advantage of 15% off best available room rate, artisan cheese plate with chilled split of Schramsberg sparkling wine and a noon check-out (based on availability).

Savor a Michelin Star Meal: Fresh ingredients and local produce means that Napa Valley lures some of the most talented chefs in the business.
