Although well known for its Michelin star rated cuisine, the small town of Yountville is now becoming the little gem of Napa Valley wines. Its compact layout hosts several top notch tasting rooms that will leave visitors full of knowledge and pleasant experiences.
Yountville is Napa Valley’s culinary playground, but there is much more to do in this picturesque Wine Country town than eat. Art walks, golf, bike tours, and live theater are just a few of the adventures that await in Yountville.
As we enter the dog days of summer and holidays draw closer, a corporate retreat may be in the cards for your team. Bike tours, balloon rides, cooking classes, tastings, and much more should all be on your list for an extraordinary work trip in Wine Country.
Yountville is home to the highest number of Michelin stars per capita in the United States, and the hotels here don’t disappoint, either.
Famous for its Mediterranean climate, where rolling hills funnel cool Pacific breezes across San Pablo Bay and into the valley, Napa Valley has the ideal weather for producing fabulous wine grapes, and creates a wonderful retreat for wine lovers and sun seekers.
Yountville is famous for its world-class culinary delights—legendary chef Thomas Keller owns three restaurants in this tiny town—but it’s also a mecca for Napa Valley shopping. The concentration of one-of-a-kind boutiques filled with stylish clothing, jewelry, bath products, and more will make any shopaholic swoon.
What makes Yountville so special is that it manages to provide so much culture and sophistication without losing any of its small-town charm. You could spend a week visiting some of the top restaurants and tasting rooms Napa Valley offers, and never come across the same place twice, without ever leaving the city limits. No matter how long the visit, this list will help you to plan out your trip.
