Yountville is located in the heart of Napa Valley the premier world famous wine growing region of Northern California, just off of Highway 29.

In 1999 the area around Yountville was approved an American Vitacultural Area (AVA), a unique area for growing grapes.  Its boundaries were primarily established by those of the other existing or proposed AVA's in the large Napa Valley AVA-Oak Knoll district on the south, Oakville on the north, Stags Leap district on the east, and Mount Veeder on the west. The Town of Yountville takes its name from George C. Yount (its founding father), who had a large land grant in the Napa Valley and who was the first to plant grapes there. The Yountville AVA is warmer than the Carneros AVA, but cooler than areas to the west and north of it. The area encompasses about 8,260 acres with not quite half of that planted to vineyards. Chardonnay is the dominant of varietals, especially in vineyards to the south where it's coolest. Merlot and Cabernet Franc do well here, as does Cabernet Sauvignon in the AVA's northern portion.

Visitors will enjoy its small town atmosphere, renowned work-class restaurants, luxury hotels and inns, premium wineries and shopping.
