About St. Helena
St. Helena feels like a proper small town: tree-shaded Main Street, a hardware store that has been there for generations and a farmers market on Friday mornings from May through October. It's also home to some of the valley's oldest stone wineries, built in the 1880s.
Guests love it for a slower day of browsing kitchen shops and bookstores, a long lunch, and a single, unhurried tasting in the afternoon.
