Has anyone stayed a the Vineyard Country Inn in St. Helena's? What are the best rooms to ask for? Any suggestions on restaurents - quiet, atmosphere, not French Laundry?, in the area.

Aloohaa,
Martini House restaurant in St Helena is pretty nice. It's been our "special occasion" restaurant.

If you're going during the summer months, some nice outside dining.

We stayed at the Vineyard Country Inn a couple of years ago during a long Thanksgiving weekend and were very pleased. In addition to a large bedroom and bathroom, our accomodations included a sitting room with a fireplace, wet bar and small refrigerator, and this was a relaxing place to hang out each night after a full day of winetasting. While this is not a luxury inn, we found it to be spacious and comfortable and well-priced. Although the location is near Hwy. 29, it was very quiet and our bedroom (with small balcony) overlooked a lovely neighboring property. All in all, this inn compares very favorably with other places that we have stayed in in both Napa and Sonoma.

We stayed there last Spring . . stopped for one nite and liked it enough that we stayed two. Would stay there again.

Martini House is our favorite for dinner too. We really enjoyed Gordon's for breakfast. It is the best we have found in our search for GREAT breakfast.((*))

It's too crowded to get a seat already.
