Napa Valley: Green hotel, red and white wine

The Gaia Napa Valley Hotel and Spa in American Canyon is celebrating their award from LEED, (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Setting an example for eco-conscious hotels, Gaia was noted for using paint with low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) paints and recycled carpets among other green practices. Possibly more interesting to guests is the bedside reading: a copy of Al Gore’s book An Inconvenient Truth, the Gideon Bible and The Buddhist Traveller.

Deals: Like you would find at most Napa Valley resorts, Gaia has a wine tour package. $459 (plus tax) gets you accommodations, breakfast and a 4-hour limousine wine tour. Even more enticing is the romance package: one night’s stay, two 60-minute massages, one dozen roses and a box of chocolates for $369 (plus tax). Value plus the  peace of mind that you’re supporting the  first-fully  “environmentally sustainable hotel” in Napa Valley.

When: Ongoing.
