HOW IT ALL BEGAN
THE POETRY INN
STORY
“...and the wine is bottled poetry.”
ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON
THE SILVERADO SQUATTERS (1883)
PRIVACY AND SERVICE ABOVE ALL
Cliff Lede founded his eponymous winery on the Yountville Cross Road in 2002. The estate grew to include the hillside vineyard above Silverado Trail that Cliff named the “Poetry Vineyard.” In 2005, he opened Poetry Inn, creating one of Napa Valley’s most secluded luxury retreats. The sophisticated hotel is a hidden gem, nestled amongst Cabernet Sauvignon vines high above the valley floor just outside of Yountville. Located at the top of a steep, gated drive, it is the ultimate wine country sanctuary for those seeking privacy with unparalleled service.
No two suites at Poetry Inn are alike, and each suite offers sweeping views of the Napa Valley.
ARCHITECTURE
DESIGNED BY HOWARD BACKEN
No two suites at Poetry Inn are alike, and each suite offers sweeping views of the Napa Valley. All suites are appointed with a king-sized bed, a wood-burning fireplace, original art, and luxury Italian linens. The balconies face west, making sunset a spectacular time to relax and unwind on your outdoor terrace or the main lounge. The spacious bathrooms are built of Beauharnais Rose Limestone and Palladiana Marmo Giallo Reale marble. Each has heated bathroom floors, dual vanities, a large soaking tub, and both indoor and outdoor showers with rain showerheads.

INTERIORS
DESIGNED BY ERIN MARTIN
The interior aesthetic was reimagined by Erin Martin Design in 2021. Designed with indulgence and relaxation at the forefront, Erin’s spaces also incorporate a few surprises to stimulate the senses and provoke thought. Michael Duté, one of the world’s premier decorative painters, was invited to use Poetry Inn as his canvas, bringing some aspect of each suite’s namesake poet to life.
