The best of Napa, outside your door

About the destination

Tucked in the heart of Napa, Alila Napa Valley offers unparalleled access to wine country. More than 400 wineries and tasting rooms are within easy reach, including some of the finest in the world that call St. Helena home: Merryvale, Clif Family, Charles Krug, and of course, Beringer Estate. Join a bicycle tour that pairs wine tasting with outdoor adventure. Or wine and dine on a journey of discovery through the scenic landscape aboard the vintage Napa Valley Wine Train.

Between tastings, experience the myriad charms of downtown St. Helena, from quaint shops and contemporary art galleries to artisan bakeries, cafes, and restaurants—both casual and Michelin-starred. Add local farmers markets and cooking demos at The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone, and it’s clear that this is an amazing destination for gourmands.

You can also catch a show at Cameo Cinema, a historic treasure that has been screening movies here for more than a century. And for a truly once-in-a-lifetime Napa Valley experience, take to the skies at sunrise in a hot air balloon, sailing over mountains, valleys, and vineyards.
