Yountville
Michelin-starred dining, manicured gardens and small-town charm in the heart of Napa Valley.
Yountville offers an intimate, refined counterpoint to the larger towns of Napa Valley. Compact and walkable, the town is celebrated for its concentration of acclaimed restaurants, boutique tasting rooms and polished hospitality, all set against a backdrop of vineyards and rolling hills.
The heart of Yountville centers on Washington Street, where fine dining, art galleries and inns sit within easy reach of one another, while the surrounding countryside opens into premier vineyard estates and gated properties. For buyers who want world-class wine culture with a quiet, luxurious pace — or a boutique retreat within reach of the Bay Area — Yountville can be especially compelling.
