Wildflowers Coming!

It won't be long till the wildflowers bloom! Napa Valley is gorgeous anytime of year, but especially in the spring!

"The Moss Wonderful Time of the Year..."

For all you who love moss, lichen, and all the damp-winter-weather-type "things" this time of year (and you know who you are), here are a few pics taken last week from the Wine Country Inn's grounds. Enjoy.

Mustard Coming

Yes, it's a bit damp around The Wine Country Inn right now, but that's O.K., as we need the water.

For those of you who'd like to see the Inn and the Napa Valley at a different time of year, I'd recommend coming in February or March when the mustard is in full bloom. The blankets of yellow around the Valley floor are breathtaking.

And there's the Napa Valley Mustard Festival too, which runs Feb 2 - March 29. Enjoy.

Happy Holidays!

Our best to you and yours this holiday season.

Mucho Nacho

Ah, tis fall, yet our garden continues to grow. We continue to be very excited about our pepper plants this year. We have 16 different varieties, from Serrana to Jalepeno to Mucho Nacho.

Here are a few pics. Enjoy.

Pottery

One of the things I like best about The Wine Country Inn is the terra cotta pottery we have at various places throughout the property. Kate Sands, who designs the interiors of the rooms, and Mrs. Smith have selected most of the pieces. Anyway, the next time you're here, be sure to check them out. Simple, rough, a little beat up (the pottery, not Kate and Mrs. Smith), I like em all because they have CHARACTER. Here are a few pics. Enjoy.

Happy Halloween!

Ah, fall is in the air at the Inn. Most of the grapes in the surrounding vineyards have been harvested, the leaves are turning their fall colors, and the flowers around our grounds continue to bloom, bloom, bloom. Yes, the rain will be arriving shortly, but for now we're enjoying YELLOW--in the leaves, from the sun, on the flowers.

Come visit us if you need some more "yellow" in your life.
