As a local travel agency rooted right here in the heart of wine country, MG Concierge offers tailored experiences that let visitors immerse themselves in all that Napa has to offer. 

Let’s break down the differences and help you choose what’s best for your dream Napa Valley escape.

‍‍

What Makes MG Concierge Different?

MG Concierge isn’t just another travel agency. We’re locals. We live here, work here, and most importantly, we’ve experienced every resort and hotel we recommend. That insider knowledge lets us create seamless, unforgettable itineraries—whether it’s arranging private wine tastings, transportation through the vineyards, or booking you into the perfect spa retreat.

Now, let’s talk about where to stay.

Napa Valley Resorts: Full-Service Luxury and Immersive Experiences

Resorts in Napa Valley are about more than just a place to sleep—they’re destinations in themselves. Think stunning vineyard views, on-site Michelin-starred restaurants, holistic spas, and curated wellness programs. Staying at a resort like Auberge du Soleil, Solage, or Carneros Resort and Spa means you’re indulging in a full sensory experience.

‍

Why choose a resort?

- All-inclusive amenities: From spa treatments to yoga classes and wine tastings, everything is at your fingertips.

- Secluded luxury: Resorts often offer private bungalows, cottages, or suites with outdoor showers and vineyard views.

- On-property experiences: No need to leave—enjoy wine pairings, chef-led dinners, and poolside service without ever leaving the grounds.

‍

Perfect for: Romantic getaways, honeymoons, wellness retreats, or travelers who want it all in one place.

‍

Napa Valley Hotels: Convenient, Comfortable, and Centrally Located

Hotels in Napa Valley, especially those in downtown Napa or St. Helena, offer a more urban, walkable experience. Boutique properties like Archer Hotel, Napa River Inn, or Hotel Yountville blend charm with convenience. You’re close to shops, tasting rooms, and top-notch restaurants.

‍

Why choose a hotel?

- Location, location, location: Stay within walking distance of wine bars, galleries, and nightlife.

- Flexible dining options: Explore a variety of restaurants and tasting rooms instead of relying solely on in-house dining.

- Value and variety: Hotels often come at a lower price point than resorts, making them ideal for longer stays or group travel.

‍

Perfect for: Friends’ trips, first-time visitors, wine enthusiasts who plan to explore, or those who love the downtown vibe.
