The Poetry Inn, Napa, California

A hush settles over the hills as the first light slips across vine rows below your terrace. 

Tucked on a private hillside in Napa Valley, The Poetry Inn is an intimate five-suite sanctuary where fireplaces crackle, soaking tubs steam, and breakfast arrives on linen with the scent of warm brioche and Meyer lemon. 

Countryside quiet, vineyard panoramas, and thoughtful, hand-carved comforts make this a place to exhale—and stay a little longer.

What Makes It Special

• Boutique scale (5 suites)—privacy, space, and tailor-made service.
• Vineyard-view terraces in every suite, many with indoor fireplaces and deep soaking tubs.
• Chef-prepared, in-suite breakfast and golden-hour canapés.
• Spa treatments on request for slow afternoons between tastings.
• Direct line to top Napa wineries & dining—the concierge unlocks coveted reservations and private pours.

A Day at The Poetry Inn

Morning

Bare feet on cool stone, steam curls from your espresso, and the valley wakes in soft gold. Breakfast—farm eggs, citrus-bright fruit, still-warm pastries—arrives to your terrace; swallows loop over the vines.

Afternoon

Drift to winery appointments, then back for a lavender-scented bath and a nap with the doors open to birdsong. A massage eases into lazy sunshine by the pool deck’s edge.

Evening
The sky turns rosé, a glass in hand as the valley lights prick on. Head down the trail for a chef’s counter or a Michelin star; return to the hush of your fireplace.

Night

Crickets, a last pour of Cabernet, and the faint rustle of leaves. The kind of quiet you can taste.

Insider Tips for The Poetry Inn

• The inn has a connection with a winery (Sullivan Rutherford Estate) under the same ownership, so you may get easier access to private tastings. 
• Shoes/gear for walking: even though it’s a luxury, you’re on a vineyard hillside, and you may want to explore the grounds or nearby paths.
• If you’re an early riser, consider waking up early for coffee on the terrace and watching hot-air balloons in the valley
• Pack layers: Hilltop evenings can be cooler than you might think in Napa Valley.
• Make dinner reservations ahead of time: Yountville has excellent dining (Michelin-level options), and the inn can assist.
