Historic Pfeiffer Building

Highlight • Historical Site

The Pfeiffer Building, Napa's oldest surviving stone commercial building, was constructed in 1875 by Philip Pfeiffer as the Barth Brewery. Over the years, it housed the "Stone Saloon," a brothel, and Sam Kee’s Laundry from the 1920s to the 1970s. Today, it hosts Vintner's Collective, a wine-tasting room open daily except Tuesdays, and the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

Napa Valley Vine Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Napa Valley Vine Trail Coalition had completed the first 12.5 miles, from Napa to Yountville, of the 47-mile paved walking & biking trail system that will connect the entire Napa Valley from Vallejo to Calistoga by the end of the decade. The paved path runs parallel to the highway and wine rail line, which safely separates the trail from car traffic. This first section passes three wineries with tasting rooms directly, and quiet side streets link to many more. vinetrail.org
