NICE TO KNOW 

• With more than one Michelin star per 1,000 residents, Yountville claims the most Michelin stars per capita of anywhere in North America.
• The town was founded by George C. Yount, the first Euro-American permanent settler in Napa Valley. Yount was also the first person to plant grapes in Napa Valley in 1839. The area grew slowly, with just a few homes, and began to develop a reputation as a gourmet destination in the 1970s. Today, this picture-perfect, 1.5-square mile town is the ideal place to practice passeggiata — the art of the stroll.
• Yountville's historic sites include V Marketplace, in three 1870 stone buildings that once housed a winery, barrel room, and distillery. Today, it's home to restaurants and boutiques.
