If you are staying in Napa Valley for more than a weekend, you might want to consider vacation rental. There are many luxurious vacation rentals in the area that will end up being much less than staying at resort, particularly, if you're a family or a larger group. If you stay at a vacation rental you don't always have to go out to a restaurant eat, but can buy some nice bottles at a wine tasting and cook a good meal to go with it. It can be a very relaxing an civilized way to spend your time in Napa Valley.
