2. La Residence Country Inn

My wife and I flew from DC to the left coast to join a surprise birthday party for my son hosted by his wife. She used the excuse of a romantic weekend at La Residence Napa to lure him out of San Francisco unawares. We understood the attraction the minute we booked in. The atmosphere of the Inn would permeate any romance-a-holic's being. The Inn is set in a water colorist deam location. The buildings and grounds are exquisite. The staff treats a guest with professional care and concern. Our room with its balcony and taste was perfect. The afternoon wine tasting of Hall wines proved great fun. The Inn is owned by the Hall winery and you receive a free full bottle of wine in your room when you check in. Breakfast demonstrated the same care that the Inns management lavished on every detail of our stay. The concierge arranged a balloon trip as part of the birthday surprise. The ages of the 20 or so of us who were gathered together at the Inn for the birthday spanned 30 years. This is an Inn that has the power please a romantic of any age and the professional staff to make it all seem effortless.
