Local know-how

Up the valley to St. Helena

St. Helena sits mid-valley, with Main Street's shops and restaurants, the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone and famous wineries on both Highway 29 and the Silverado Trail.

Summer and harvest weekends bring heavy traffic through Rutherford and Oakville; we plan the drive for it and use the Silverado Trail when it is quicker.

Many visitors go straight to a tasting appointment — tell us the winery and we will drop you there.
