Alila Napa Valley

"A new restaurant from a former chef de cuisine of three-Michelin-starred Quince debuts in St. Helena on Wednesday, May 15, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Chef Thomas Lents opens Violetto, taking over the former Acacia House space inside the 1907 mansion-hotel, Alila Napa Valley, with a menu that pairs northern Italian and southern French dishes." - Dianne de Guzman

"An intimate collection of rooms and suites central to historic wineries, including Beringer Vineyards."

"Check-in to Alila Napa Valley on the Beringer Vineyards Estate for a tranquil respite that’s within walking or bicycling distance to the shops." - Jillian Dara

"With Beringer Estate vineyards’ cabernet vines as the backdrop, this hotel made quite the splash as soon as it opened. At the center is a turn-of-the-century Victorian mansion, now called Acacia House, which includes celebrated chef Chris Cosentino’s restaurant , and a romantic porch perfect for aperitivo at sunset." - Ana Kamin, Jenna Scatena

"With just 68 rooms and suites (many of which overlook the vineyards and have private balconies with cozy fire pits) Alila Napa Valley is a welcomed retreat just minutes away from downtown St. Helena. It's a no-kids property, which is a very good thing indeed as you're sloughing off the stress of your non-wine-country life. The property's Acacia House restaurant is helmed by acclaimed chef Chris Cosentino and Beringer winery is within walking distance — another very good thing, because relaxation is thirsty work, and you'll need to hydrate with something delicious." - Brian Freedman
