Garden Variety

Our expanded gardens are overflowing at the moment! Not only do we have larger quantities, we have variety too. On the grounds of the Inn, we have 17 different varieties of heirloom tomatoes (including Early Girl, Green Zebra, Caspian Pink, Oregon Spring, and Black Crim), and we have more than 15 types of peppers (including Relleno, Yellow Hot Wax, Anaheim, and Thai Dragon). The next time you're here, ask for me, Maury, and I'll give you a personal tour.

Greetings

Greetings and salutations friends, and welcome to the Wine Country Inn's Gardens blog. Many people have been positively commenting about our grounds appearance and atmosphere. I felt setting up a blog would be a good way to discuss our gardens and to answer any questions.
I will start by saying that every season spent here in the Napa Valley is a beautiful one. The Inn wouldn't be the same without its country setting. We are surrounded by Napa Valley vineyards, and have one of the best views in the area; including scenes of vineyards, farmhouses, rolling hills, distant mountains and big blue skies.
Our gardens are equipped with cobbled walking paths that escort you through soothing annual flowerbeds, whispering 80-100 year old olive and oaks trees, flowering scrubs, creeping vines, and our own vineyard. If serenity is what your spirit is in search of, a trip to the Gardens is the perfect fix. Hope to see you soon!
