What's Happening at the Inn and in the Valley

Winter was very "Seattle-like", but our famous Napa weather is back - warm days, cool nights and plenty of wine and food to go around.

Downtown Napa just keeps getting better. Several new restaurants have opened with an ever-increasing range of styles. Check them out on Napa's helpful website, www.napadowntown.com (click on Visitors, then Downtown Merchants, then Restaurants).

Napa's nightlife will never rival the "big city", but you now have several options for after dinner. The Bounty Hunter is open late every night for those hearty souls who need more wine tasting, Uva Restaurant and Bar has jazz five nights a week and Downtown Joe's offers a variety of musical styles several nights a week. Other locations, such as the Opera House and COPIA, also offer entertainment most weekends during the summer and fall months.

Both the Friday night Chef's Market and our twice weekly Farmers Markets are in full swing. The Tuesday and Saturday morning Farmers Markets are a great place to pick up fresh fruit to nibble on during the day or bring back to the inn for an alfresco picnic in the courtyard. Chef's Market is held Friday nights from Memorial Day to Labor Day, when the streets are alive with food, wine, chef demonstrations and music from 5 to 9:00 pm. A great "small town" event that attracts both locals and visitors.

Bottom line - there's lots to do here in addition to the ever-popular wine tasting.
If you're looking for something in particular, just ask. I'm happy to make suggestions and recommendations.

Hope to see you at the inn soon!
