quaint yet bustling town known for its acclaimed restaurants,
boutique hotels and luxury shops—thanks to a five-year, $200
million transformation. In trips past, you might've found

without reason to stop, but nowadays, it's become a world-
class destination in and of itself for locals and visitors alike.
What sets Vista Collina apart is that they offer guests a new
way to explore all the facets of Napa Valley, without ever having
to leave the property. ink of it as an alternative to the wine
country getaway you know and love but would rather not stress
over—or that you can comfortably bring your dog and kids on.

emphasis on experiences shaped by wine tastings and culinary
offerings, without making guests go far and wide. ey've
even partnered with Hestan Cue, a smart cooking system that
allows guests to take a virtual, in-room cooking lesson guided
by Vista Collina's own Chef Vincent Lesage.
