Yountville
Napa Valley's gastronomic capital, where Washington Street, just one mile long, is lined with Michelin-starred restaurants, the French Laundry and tasting rooms.
Yountville is a small town in central Napa Valley with an exceptionally high concentration of celebrity chef restaurants. Thomas Keller's The French Laundry, Bouchon restaurant and bakery are all on Washington Street, along with numerous tasting rooms, boutique hotels and an outdoor sculpture trail. The town can be explored entirely on foot, making it an ideal base for a Napa stay. The French Laundry must be booked months in advance on its official website, while the Bouchon Bakery welcomes walk-ins, where you can queue up for a croissant. Many hot air balloon flights also take off from Yountville at dawn.
