| Driving through vineyards down
tree-lined Oak Knoll Avenue, it would be easy to miss Oak Knoll Inn.
A stone building nestled behind a wall of cypress, it has one of the
most spectacular locations in California's Napa Valley wine country.
All the seclusion you want, all the personal service you need from
convivial hosts who can design an itinerary tailored to your
desires.
As you walk through the French-country
style reception and dining rooms out to the deck, you are greeted
with an unparalleled panorama. Continue through French doors and
settle into a vast, elegant guest room where you can look out over
the surrounding 600 acres of vineyards backed by Stags Leap
Mountain. Sleeping accommodations include four huge rooms, each with
private bath, king-sized bed, and sitting area. You can expect to
find plush robes, a CD player, hairdryer, binoculars, an iron and
ironing board, and more in each room. Double stone walls, a private
entrance, and wood-burning fireplace contribute to the intimacy of
your lodging at Oak Knoll Inn.
Mornings at Oak Knoll start
with a full feast that Barbara likes to call breakfast. This
luscious bounty can be enjoyed in front of a crackling fire on those
nippy winter mornings or out on the sunny deck on warm summer
mornings. For those times when getting up is just not on the morning
agenda, you can have an in-room breakfast. Every evening, Oak Knoll
has a wine and cheese party, often with a visiting
winemaker.
A refreshing splash in the
swimming pool in the morning and a soothing dip in the Jacuzzi at
night are the perfect way to start and end the day. The secluded
setting of Oak Knoll Inn makes it hard to believe that some of
Napa's best known wineries and renowned restaurants are just minutes
away. In fact, within a 20-minute radius you can expect to find 250
wineries. Oak Knoll Inn provides a full-time concierge service, and
if you want, Barbara and her knowledgeable staff can plan a
specialized itinerary to visit small exclusive wineries, meet the
winemaker, and participate in wine blending. They can arrange an
in-room massage, make dinner and picnic arrangements, schedule
bicycle tours -- anything that will make your stay at Oak Knoll Inn
a wonderful and memorable experience. In and around the Napa area,
you'll find art galleries, world-class restaurants, and antique
shops. A half-hour drive will get you to California's heralded
Redwood Forests, and in one hour you can make it to San
Francisco.
What better place to indulge in
relaxation and pampering than this gracious resort - like
establishment in the heart of the Napa Valley?
