Wineries and a top-tier dining scene 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 and boasts its own American Viticultural Area. Hot-air balloons float above Michelin-star restaurants, internationally recognized wineries — namely Chandon and its tasting room — 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, who has 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 her Yountville clients are second-home buyers.
Chandon has all the bright, fruity 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 tastings, brunch pairings and other events in a Brutalist stone building from the 1970s. Guests with sparkling flutes gather in sailcloth cabanas and tasting rooms with arched, wooden ceilings that resemble winemaking barrels.
The French Laundry has earned three Michelin stars and praise from the James Beard Foundation. Its name derives from its building's history as a French steam laundry in the 1920s. Proprietor and classically French-trained chef Thomas Keller curates its tasting menu, which changes daily. The Ranch Market Too, the second location of a family-run grocer in Napa Valley, offers essentials nearby.
Join Club Chandon and you’ll have pre-release access to the latest wines, curated just for members.
Book a tour of The French Laundry's culinary garden, which provides the fresh ingredients for Chef Thomas Keller’s iconic dishes.

55-plus communities and million-dollar homes
The community's wide, residential streets feature landscaped yards and New Traditional homes, some with Craftsman touches. Properties 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.

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 grazing longhorn cattle and a historic pole barn, 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 includes a sand volleyball court, an amphitheater 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 has a placid lake and a public, nine-hole championship course that allows golfers to enjoy the nearby wineries after a game.
Vintner’s Golf Club is open every day from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
