Occupying an enviable position on 22 acres of prized real estate in downtown Yountville, two boutique hotels comprise The Estate Yountville, a ‘village-within-a- village’ concept. These unique properties with decidedly different personalities— Vintage House on the north end and Hotel Villagio and its vineyard on the south end—frame The Estate Yountville, the place where guests make wine country into a delightful personal domain.

AT THE DOORSTEP

This lifestyle resort in the heart of Napa Valley’s charming signature town is the center of the wine and dine world. Modern tasting rooms, fine art galleries, and several Michelin-rated darlings of dining are among the highlights of a Yountville stroll. Anchored by an acclaimed spa and three restaurants situated on the property surrounded by vineyard views, guests love the fact that The Estate Yountville has quintessential wine country experiences right at the doorstep.

 

SETTLE IN

At Vintage House, cheerful bungalow-style residences—some that can sleep four—are tucked into the lush landscape. Each guest room has charming decor, a patio or balcony, plush robes, rich bedding, a well-stocked mini-bar, and more. A private pool zone with sun-soaked chaise lounges is the perfect retreat for a lazy spell.

At Hotel Villagio, rich, dramatic guest rooms and bathrooms are designed as polished retreats, with sunsoaked terraces lending to their exceptional appeal. Hand-knotted rugs draped over wood floors and mahogany headboard walls set the tone for a getaway escape. Freestanding soaking tubs are illuminated with elegant lighting, creating a sensual ambiance in the bathrooms.

 

A DAY IN THE LIFE

Of course, there’s more to vacations and getaway weekends than dining and drinking well…right? Check off a few experiences on the proverbial bucket list. Sail aloft in the wicker basket of a hot air balloon, float in a peaceful pool, seek out a spa sanctuary, or bicycle through vineyards of lush grapevines. Take a private escorted tour at a winery and sip from the source at a barrel tasting before sitting down to a wine pairing. Settle into a comfortable lounge serving caviar and Champagne in a garden setting.

 

HERE COMES THE BRIDE

And a note for would-be wine country brides and grooms…a thriving weddings business is the icing on the cake at The Estate Yountville. The Villa at The Estate Yountville is a 6,600-square-foot five-bedroom residence that’s ideal for wedding parties wishing to spend time together while enjoying more space with ultimate privacy. Seven gracious, inspired indoor and outdoor event spaces across the two extensive hotel properties are just the place to invite wedding guests to bear witness and join the festivities. From rehearsal dinner to ceremony to the morning brunch afterwards, a polished professional event team is on hand to plan and execute a suite of picture-perfect moments that last a lifetime.
