SSS Ranch Napa is one of the oldest ranches in Wine Country going back to an original Spanish land grant in the 1800’s. In 1958 the ranch was turned into a family resort making it the oldest operating resort in Wine Country. In 2012 the ranch was purchased by the current owners who fully renovated the property using architectural salvage collected from around the world.
