Sttupa Estate Napa Valley is Nominated as One of USA TODAY’s 10 Best Wine Country Hotels in America

YOUNTVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sttupa Estate Napa Valley, formerly Poetry Inn, is pleased to announce that the exclusive boutique property has been nominated as one of the 10 Best Wine Country Hotels in America by the editors of USA TODAY. Readers have until July 20th to vote for their favorite nominees in USA TODAY’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards.

Sttupa Estate entered its next chapter with a new name last spring. The renaming marked a thoughtful evolution of the luxury boutique hotel, preserving the private and exclusive character that has defined the property for more than two decades.

Since the renaming, the property has garnered notable media attention, including a cover feature in Wine Spectator’s “Ultimate Travel Guide to Napa Valley” issue and recognition from San Francisco Magazine, which hailed the property as “A Sacred Retreat Reimagined to Reconnect Guests with Nature, Wine & Themselves.”

Grounded in the symbolic meaning of stupa—a unique place that fosters a connection between humankind and nature—Sttupa Estate remains devoted to exclusivity, serenity and authenticity. Sttupa Estate embodies a commitment to intimate hospitality experiences that transcend the ordinary and elevate every moment.

Since changing ownership in 2024, a team of experienced hospitality professionals has thoughtfully enhanced the property’s offerings while preserving the privacy and personalized service that guests have cherished most. Of note: exceptional culinary experiences led by some of Napa Valley’s top culinary talents, as well as curated wellness programs. Perched high above the valley floor on the eastern hillside overlooking Yountville, Sttupa Estate has views of the Napa Valley unlike any other luxury resort in the wine country.

“We are honored to be nominated for this recognition. We remain deeply committed to the long-standing relationships we have cultivated with our guests, while thoughtfully elevating the hospitality experience that has made this property such an unforgettable retreat,” says Scott Trace, Director of Operations.

Sttupa Estate is an adults-only property offering overnight stays and exclusive whole-house reservations. Full-property reservations can be arranged by contacting our ambassadors at [e-mail], via the website, or by calling [phone].
