Why Stay Here

The Deluxe King's soaking tub and fireplace sit opposite floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the vines, and couples rarely leave before checkout. The Setting Inn keeps wine tasting on-property with private appointments hosted by Katie Garaventa, which means you can walk back to your room with a bottle and never get in the car.

  • Bouchon pastries delivered each morning to your room
  • Private tastings of The Setting Wines hosted on-property by Katie Garaventa
  • Deluxe King room with soaking tub, fireplace, and vineyard views
  • Located off Highway 29 between downtown Napa and Yountville
  • 15% discount for California residents and stays of three nights or more

The Experience

Mornings start with Bouchon pastries delivered to the door—pain au chocolat, almond croissants, sometimes a seasonal fruit danish. Afternoons are built around private tastings of The Setting Wines, poured right on the property in an intimate space overlooking the vines. The Signature Queen opens to the courtyard, while the Deluxe King gives you vineyard views from bed and a deep tub next to the fireplace. Sunsets turn the sky orange-pink directly over the rows.

The Setting

The Setting Inn Napa Valley setting

The Setting Inn Napa Valley sits directly off Highway 29, flanked by working vineyards on both sides—close enough to Yountville that you can reach Bouchon in eight minutes, but far enough that the only sound at night is wind through the grapevines. The recently renovated building holds a handful of rooms, all with courtyard or vineyard views. Downtown Napa's restaurant row is a ten-minute drive south.

Insider Tips

Opt for the Deluxe King room if a private terrace and vineyard views are a priority.
