Site Visit: The Estate Yountville

The Details

With a property size of 22 acres and encompassing two luxury properties, there is a lot to take in at The Estate Yountville. The first thing you will notice is the smell of white roses and gardenias filling every inch of the property. It truly smells like heaven! On each side of the property is either the lobby for Vintage House or Hotel Villagio. Both uniquely different the moment you walk in, with the Vintage House being more light and airy, a modern farmhouse, with a pianist filling the lobby with beautiful music. Hotel Villagio is a darker, more contemporary interior with a modern vibe and decor. A lovely bar greets you upon check-in and we just happened to be there during their July perk of Rose All Day where we found bottles of chilled Rose everywhere you looked just waiting to be poured into your glass. The rooms, all a little different, are all welcoming and inviting. With in room fireplaces, this would be a great location when the weather grows a little bit more chilly to curl up by the fire with a great book and a glass of local Napa Valley wine. The property underwent a $65 million refresh in 2018 and recently underwent a massive landscaping renovation where 202 80+yr old olive trees were brought in to canopy the entire property. You truly feel like you are walking through a Tuscan garden. Each property also has a gorgeous pool with a pool bar and menu.

I highly recommend The Estate Yountville for anyone looking for a perfect Food & Wine getaway in Napa Valley. The location can’t be beat as you are in a short driving distance to all Napa Valley has to offer including over 500 wineries. Yountville is known as the food capital of Napa Valley and with the entire town being within 1.5 sq. miles, everything is within walking/biking distance. Who's ready to go?
