FAQ’s

What is a Vision Board?

For those wondering what it’s all about, a vision board is a visual representation of your dreams, goals, and desires. Typically one will use magazine clippings, photos, and phrases to express what one wants to achieve in the next month, year, two years, etc. Once finished, a vision board should be placed somewhere you will see it every day (on your dresser, in your home office) so that you never lose sight of your goals and are constantly reminded to keep trying. 

What should you expect at the Vision Board Party?

The event will take place at our wonderful sponsor location, Appellation Healdsburg, and Appellation Healdsburg Hotel Collection @appellation_healdsburg. Thank you for having us! As hosts, they will be directing a site visit from 1:45-2:45 pm of the event spaces on their property. Come see their newly remodeled event spaces!

Are you looking for the best Napa hotels for meetings, events, and leisure? If so, then you clicked on the right blog!

I’m Danielle Gibson and I have been living in Napa since 2012 and in the Bay Area since 1997. I own Danielle Gibson Events, an event company that plans, designs, and produces corporate events, destination programs, and wine styling in Napa Valley, the San Francisco Bay Area, and beyond.  We are continually scouting out new hotels, restaurants, wineries, and activities which keeps us dialed into the best Napa has to offer. If you are looking to have an event in Napa, California we are the event planning company to plan and design it for you!

Over the years we have only given our industry insight to our dear friends and clients. However, now we want to open the vault and share what we truly love about the beautiful Napa Valley with everyone that is eager to visit.

To book the best Napa hotel, read this!

You don’t want to be spending more time driving than tasting wine! If you are visiting Napa to taste wine at a specific winery that you have already booked or plan to book, we recommend you search for a Napa hotel relatively close to your tasting appointments. Are you more interested in staying in a certain town? In that case, book a hotel in that town and arrange wine tastings (we have over 400 wineries!) within 20 minutes of your hotel. Careful planning and attention to travel times between wineries will enhance your overall experience in Napa.

Where are the best Napa hotels located?

Napa Valley is a California wine-producing region that is 5 miles wide by 30 miles long located about 50 miles north of San Francisco. Napa Valley basically runs north to south with Napa located at the south end and Calistoga at the north end. When you drive up from San Francisco International Airport (SFO), Oakland International Airport (OAK), or San Francisco Bay area, the town of Napa will be the first town you will approach on your drive into the area. Most hotels in Napa are located in the towns of Napa, Yountville, St. Helena, and Calistoga. We recommend using the Napa Winery Map to help navigate the area. (click to enlarge and download).

Looking for recommendations on restaurants with event space for your next party? Overwhelmed by how many wineries there are to visit in Napa? Confused about how to navigate Napa Valley? Then check out our other blogs:

Driving in Napa California

I highly recommend having a car. You can easily drive to wineries during the day, as long as you have a designated driver who isn’t drinking. If you need a driver to take you to your selected wineries or need an itinerary I recommend Napa Valley Wine Excursions and RAM Wine Tours. Contacting an Uber or Lyft to travel from winery to winery isn’t very reliable. At night, I would recommend leaving the car at home and walk or grab a Lyft (or Uber) to get around.

Quick tips about our list of the best Napa hotels

Our details are short and sweet, but our list is the only list that makes it easy to figure out where you want to stay! What is most important to my readers?

• What is the daily rate of the hotel room
• What town is the hotel located in Napa Valley
• Does the hotel have event space for planning a meeting, corporate event, social celebration, or wedding
• Are local restaurants within walking distance

The pricing guide we are using is in USD from $-$$$$$ (from the least expensive $ to the most expensive $$$$$). Keep in mind prices will fluctuate depending on the day of the week and time of the year. Also, some hotels ask for a 2 or 3-night minimum stay.

FAQ’s

How many nights should I plan to stay in Napa?

At least 3 nights is recommended because of the travel time getting to and from Napa. If you are flying in, most airports are 1.5 hours away without traffic, this could take up half of your arrival day and departure day just traveling. I recommend planning to have at least 2 full days for wine tasting and activities around the valley.

What hotels have the best event space for a real Napa experience?

When planning events in Napa, we think the best Napa hotels with event space are Stanly Ranch, The Estate, Four Seasons, Auberge du Soleil, Meadowood, and Indian Springs. Looking for a Napa full-service event planning company for your next Napa meeting, corporate event, social celebration, or wine styling for photography? Contact us today!

How different is the experience from staying in a hotel in downtown Napa to staying in the town of Yountville?

Downtown Napa has really changed over the past 10 years, it has more hotels, restaurants, winery tasting rooms, and stores than ever! (and of course Oxbow Market) If you are looking for a small city feel and less expensive accommodations, downtown Napa is for you. The town of Yountville also has many hotels, winery tasting rooms, and stores to enjoy (and of course Bouchon Bakery), but it is more of a quaint, small-town feel and pricier than Napa.
