"Share their Passion"

We asked our staff to "share their passion" regarding what they like best about the Napa Valley area in general, and the Inn itself. Enjoy!

To me, passion is something that you feel deeply, all the way to your toes! One of my greatest passions is living and working in the Napa Valley. Coming to the valley from Los Angeles to live and raise our children was one of the best decisions my husband and I have ever made. There we had smog and crime. Here we have clean air, wonderful scenery, and the people are very real. People say passion fades with age. But after having worked at the Inn for more than 12 years now, I can still say that each year here is better than the year before. When you come visit us, ask me to share my passion for the wine, food, people, and landscapes unique to the Napa Valley. Who knows, maybe-like me-you won't ever want to leave!

Daniel
I think what I like most about this area is the variety of things to see and do. I love pointing out to guests a certain winery that I think they might be interested in, or helping them book a balloon ride. There's something in this valley that appeals to almost everyone, and it's fun helping people find that special thing that matches their interests.

Judi
What calls me most about this place is the quiet, the tranquility. I call the Napa Valley and in particular the Inn my "little piece of heaven." Gardening is my passion, and I love the Inn's grounds and the surrounding landscapes. Guests thank me for having a great time during their stay here, and I just smile, because it was my pleasure. I find helping people have a wonderful adventure a very rewarding job.


Tracy
What I love most about this area is the physical beauty of the valley. I love the climate, the variety of trees we can see, the roses throughout the valley. Most of our guests live where it's hot and humid, and you can't have roses, or walk outside and snip herbs out of your garden. The friendliness and coziness of this place also are special to me.

I've lived in a lot of places throughout the U.S., and I can say without a doubt that the Napa Valley is my favorite place. Not only is it beautiful, there's a peacefulness in the country that you just don't find in the hustle-and-bustle of a city. I love meeting guests from all over the world. And it's funny how wine can be a great equalizer. Wine can bring the richest person in the world and the poorest together to talk and share their passion about wine. As far as the Inn, I consider it an extension of my home. When I spend a night here, it feels like I'm a million miles away from home…even though my house is only five minutes away

Guy
Five years ago my wife and I were living in the Bay Area and looking for a new place to live. We looked at a lot of places and ended up falling in love with the Napa Valley. The laidback country lifestyle is very relaxing. Likewise, the Inn has a very family-oriented feel to it. We want to help our guests have the most wonderful experience possible. And it's so beautiful. I tell people living in the Napa Valley and working at The Wine Country Inn is like living on a postcard.

Maury
I have so many passions about this place that it's difficult to begin. I love the grounds, and all the colors and textures and watching things evolve not only each season, but over the years. I love the local fishing, the outdoor opportunities so close by. And of course there's all the endless choices of restaurants, trying something new, going back to old favorites.

Joyce
I just think the Napa Valley is a fantastic place to live. The wineries are absolutely wonderful, and I enjoy learning more about each winery and the wine making process-and sharing this new knowledge with our guests! As far as the Inn is concerned, I couldn't be happier working here. Our crew is basically family, and I enjoy helping our guests because almost all are fun, interesting, and want to have a great time.
