Courtesy of The Carneros InnCalifornia's Napa Valley is renowned for its fertile soil, as evidenced by the area's abundant vineyards and farms.

The inn serves breakfast year round and Saturday dinners from November through May, featuring jams made from homegrown produce, syrup from maple trees that grow on the grounds, plus bacon, sausage, and ham made from pigs raised on the property.
