Other than wine, there are 2 things which Yountville is famed for – food and art. It's often considered one of the culinary capitals of California and a magnet for foodies across America. Heading up Yountville's gastronomy is the Michelin-starred French Laundry, a bucket-list worthy restaurant for anyone with even the slightest interest in food. When you stay in a Yountville vacation rental, you'll realize why this area has provided inspiration to so many artists over the years. Other than the galleries, a good place to start is the Napa Valley Performing Arts Center, which hosts year-round shows, lectures and concerts.
In between winery hopping and soaking up the small-town ambiance, there's a lot to keep you busy. When you stay in a Yountville vacation rental, you'll have the whole of the Napa Valley right on your doorstep. Walking is popular, as is seeing the rows of vineyards and rolling countryside on the back of 2 wheels. If you're a golfer, you're in luck. You've got some mighty fine courses just moments away from your rental. At the end of the day, you can close it off with a little pampering at the spa. Now that's a vacation.
The peak season for Yountville vacation rentals is between August and October, when folks drop into the Napa Valley for the annual grape harvest. It also falls neatly into the region's best climate, with bright sunshine being the usual order of the day. If you're not a wine buff, you might want to consider visiting in spring, when the climate can be just as good, the vino still flows out of the wineries and the rental prices take a dip. For rock-bottom pricing, you've always got winter. Just be sure to pack your umbrella.
Napa County might be famous for its wine, but few are aware that its habitats of woodland and wetland make it one of Northern California's most enduring wildlife-watching spots. The area sits slap bang on the Pacific Flyway, a path used by migrating birds flying from Canada to Mexico. Twitchers should get their lists and binoculars ready because they aren't going to want to miss catching a glimpse of the 400 or so recorded species of bird. If you take a hike up through the forests, you might very well catch a glimpse of some of Napa's land-dwelling critters.
