Wineries / St Helena

RustRidge Ranch & Winery

This secluded property in St. Helena is located on what was once a large thoroughbred horse ranch. Owners Jim and Susan Meyer continue the ranch’s legacy today by breeding thoroughbreds each spring, in addition to fulfilling their passion for wine by growing grapes, including cabernet sauvignon, sauvignon blanc, and zinfandel. Quaint and rustic, their B&B offers rooms that overlook the vineyards, featuring queen featherbeds and some with private en suite bathrooms. In true B&B form, a stay includes hearty, ranch-style breakfasts each morning.

Insider Tip

In the evenings, plan to take advantage of wine and appetizers available to guests, which includes a sampling of RustRidge wines made from their estate vines.

Spanish Villa Inn

Located 8 miles off of the Silverado Trail, the Spanish Villa Inn is a quiet and serene getaway surrounded by forest. The cozy rooms feature hand-carved Spanish headboards, antique lamps, and floral linens: elements that align well with Mediterranean influences like clay tiles and rounded archways, and enhance the relaxing, secluded environment of the property. The property offers diversions like bocce, rose gardens, and a library including books from the 17th century.

Insider Tip

Borrow a good book and enjoy a glass of wine under the vine-covered trellis on the property’s old-world stone patio.

Vineyard Country Inn

Vineyard Country Inn is a bed and breakfast inspired by the French countryside. The farmhouse reflects influences of old-world charm such as brick fireplaces and wooden ceiling beams, but the new world is ever-present in the Vineyard Country Inn’s comfortable furnishings and modern amenities like wi-fi and in-suite wet bars. Breakfast is served in a spacious room overlooking the surrounding vineyards, where a wood-burning fireplace, and candelabra chandeliers transport the imagination to a French farmhouse.

Insider Tip

Unlike many of the other bed and breakfasts, Vineyard Country Inn has both a pool and hot tub onsite.

Napa Farmhouse Inn

Just a glimpse of the Victorian, canary-yellow Napa Farmhouse Inn, with shady trees and peaceful gardens, has been known to relax visitors. Built in the 1860s, the old home sits on three acres of organic gardens, and this home-grown bounty is on full display at brunch. Owners Ed and Mimi Brown have great style—the farmhouse-chic sensibility serves to elevate the ambiance of the place, and the rooms are cozily wallpapered in floral prints and appointed with custom French-style beds covered in soft linens.

Insider Tip

Stay in the main house if you would like the full breakfast; the carriage house offers a lighter option of a continental breakfast.
