Across much of our weary nation, March is the dead of winter. Its letters could stand for weather that’s Miserable, Aggravating, Raw, Cold, Harsh. And it signals that there are at least 60 more days of the same.
Not here.

In the Napa Valley March is when SPRING is just reaching her teens, having been born in late January and showing great promise in February. If we were to spell out what MARCH means to a visitor making her acquaintance in Napa it would go like this:
M could stand for MUSTARD, that bright yellow and green carpet of color between row upon row of black, knurled grapevines. We have even invented an entire Festival to celebrate its beauty. And in MARCH, the Mustard Festival is in full swing.
A could stand for AWESOME, not only is the weather usually sunny and crisp, but the deals like up to 50% off of our regular base rates mid week are awe inspiring.
R could stand for REJUVINATING, that’s just what a couple of days away from the Panic that’s replaced our daily newscasts would be. The sky is NOT falling here, just the occasional star.
C could stand for CALMING, that’s the effect a few days will have when the toughest decision is breakfast in bed, a soothing massage or a lingering soak to begin another perfect Napa Valley day.
H could stand for HAPPY, which is how you’ll feel when you realize you’ve gotten a great deal to spend precious time in a place where great wine accompanies good food and produces glorious memories.
Anyway you spell it MARCH is a wonderful time to visit the Beazley House. We’ll re-introduce you to each other and to a place that’s absolutely magical, dressed in more shades of green than an Irish parade.
You’ll be charmed.
