Top-tier dining scene and wineries in Napa Valley’s Yountville
The first grapevine in Napa Valley was planted in Yountville, which has evolved into one of the area’s top tourist destinations with its own American Viticultural Area. Hot-air balloons float above internationally recognized wineries — namely, Chandon and its tasting room — Michelin-starred restaurants and a rotating collection of sculptures scattered around downtown. “Everything is walkable and very well-maintained. There’s art, festivals, the cuisine, of course, and the prestige that Yountville offers. A lot of it is due to who has bought homes there,” says Teresa Barboza, an associate broker with Vanguard Properties with over 25 years of experience. “It’s one of the most desirable places in the county. It’s known for its charm and sophistication,” she says, adding that almost all of the clients she’s worked with in Yountville are second-home buyers.
Chandon has all the bright, fruity, and easy to drinking sparkling wine you are looking for.

Chandon and The French Laundry offer iconic Yountville experiences
Much of Yountville’s appeal comes from its dining and wine scenes. Local vineyards produce Chandon’s pinot noir and chardonnay varietals, and the brand offers brunch pairings, tastings and other events in a Brutalist 1970s stone building. Guests with sparkling flutes gather in sailcloth cabanas, outdoor sitting areas under gnarled oak branches and tasting rooms covered by structures with arched, wooden ceilings that resemble winemaking barrels.
The French Laundry has garnered three Michelin stars and praise from the James Beard Foundation. Its name derives from the history of its building, which was a French steam laundry in the 1920s. Proprietor and classically French-trained chef Thomas Keller curates a tasting menu that changes daily. The Ranch Market Too, the second location of a family-run grocery business in Napa Valley, offers essentials nearby.
Join Club Chadon and you’ll have pre-release access to the latest wines curated just for members.

55-plus communities and million-dollar homes
The community's wide, residential streets feature New Traditional homes, some with Craftsman elements, and landscaped yards. Homes in Yountville were constructed from the 1940s through the 2010s, and most fetch between $1 million and $2.25 million. Patios and backyard gardens often look out onto nearby vineyards; some properties come with two homes on one parcel.

Yountville’s May festival showcases local talent and tastings
Yountville has hosted its Art, Sip & Stroll event, featuring over 70 juried artists, for nearly 15 years. More than 20 local wineries and tasting rooms offer varietals that can be paired with bites from nearby food vendors and sipped throughout the May event.
Scenic bike trails, community green spaces and Vintner’s Golf Club
A couple of cycling trails wind past Yountville's rolling hills and vineyards. The Yount Mill Road bike trail follows a local backroad past a historic pole barn and grazing longhorn cattle, while the Napa Valley Vine Trail, a path paved exclusively for bikes, starts in Yountville and leads south to downtown Napa. “It’s a lovely ride. You get to see the wine train go by and the vineyards and the wineries,” Barboza says.
Veterans Memorial Park encompasses an amphitheater, sand volleyball and four bocce ball courts. On the other side of town, Vineyard Park offers tennis, pickleball and basketball courts that face Stags Leap Winery. The Vintner’s Golf Club is open to the public and has a placid lake and a nine-hole championship course that allows for time to enjoy the nearby wineries after a game.
Vintner’s Golf Club is open everyday 6am-6pm.
