Napa is the heart of California’s wine country, where rolling vineyards, Michelin-starred restaurants, and luxurious spas create a setting of effortless indulgence. Beyond the wine, you’ll find art galleries, riverfront promenades, and hot air balloon rides above golden valleys. Whether you’re sipping bold reds or soaking in a mineral bath, Napa is a destination that invites you to taste, relax, and revel.
Whether you're here for the wine or the way it makes time stretch a little longer, Napa offers endless ways to immerse yourself in the good life. Start your day with a hot-air balloon ride as the valley wakes below you, or bike along the scenic Napa Valley Vine Trail, where lavender fields and olive groves brush the edges of the path. Of course, the heart of Napa beats in its wineries—historic estates, boutique tasting rooms, and family-owned vineyards where each pour tells a story.
Beyond the vineyards, downtown Napa is brimming with art galleries, riverfront dining, and cozy tasting lounges. In the summer, the Oxbow Public Market is a must-stop for fresh local fare, and in the cooler months, the nearby hot springs in Calistoga offer a warm retreat. Napa also makes a great jumping-off point for exploring the rest of Wine Country—though many travelers find themselves lingering here longer than planned.
Greetwell guests can book curated wine tastings, guided hikes, or farm-to-table food tours, making it easy to experience Napa like a local.
