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?
