Ned and Marge Smith founded The Wine Country Inn in 1975 with a simple vision: to recreate the look and atmosphere of a traditional New England-style bed and breakfast inn in the heart of the Napa Valley.  Now more than 30 years later, their vision remains as vibrant and as strong as ever.  Guests from around the world seek out the Inn because of its central Napa Valley location, immaculate and unique rooms and cottages, stunning grounds, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and much more.  The Wine Country Inn offers spa services, has its own "Inn-cursion" wine tours, and provides guests with a complimentary evening restaurant shuttle service to nearby restaurants.  Jim Smith, Ned and Marge's son, serves as Innkeeper.  Fore more information, call (707) 967-7077 or visit www.winecountryinn.com.
