THE POETRY INN

STORY

vertical stress

“…and the wine is bottled poetry.”

ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

THE SILVERADO SQUATTERS (1883)

PRIVACY AND SERVICE ABOVE ALL

Cliff Lede founded his eponymous winery on the Yountville Cross Road in 2002. The estate grew to include the hillside vineyard above Silverado Trail that Cliff named the “Poetry Vineyard.” In 2005, he opened Poetry Inn, creating one of Napa Valley’s most secluded luxury retreats. The sophisticated hotel is a hidden gem, nestled amongst Cabernet Sauvignon vines high above the valley floor just outside of Yountville. Located at the top of a steep, gated drive, it is the ultimate wine country sanctuary for those seeking privacy with unparalleled service.

ARCHITECTURE

DESIGNED BY HOWARD BACKEN

No two suites at Poetry Inn are alike, and each suite offers sweeping views of the Napa Valley. All suites are appointed with a king-sized bed, a wood-burning fireplace, original art, and luxury Italian linens. The balconies face west, making sunset a spectacular time to relax and unwind on your outdoor terrace or the main lounge. The spacious bathrooms are built of Beauharnais Rose Limestone and Palladiana Marmo Giallo Reale marble. Each has heated bathroom floors, dual vanities, a large soaking tub, and both indoor and outdoor showers with rain showerheads.

INTERIORS

DESIGNED BY ERIN MARTIN

The interior aesthetic was reimagined by Erin Martin Design in 2021. Designed with indulgence and relaxation at the forefront, Erin’s spaces also incorporate a few surprises to stimulate the senses and provoke thought. Michael Duté, one of the world’s premier decorative painters, was invited to use Poetry Inn as his canvas, bringing some aspect of each suite’s namesake poet to life.

ADRIANA REGAN

MEET POETRY INN’S MANAGING INNKEEPER

As an ambassador of luxury hospitality, Adriana Regan is the perfect fit for her role as managing innkeeper of Poetry Inn, Lede Family Wines’ luxury inn located in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley. In this position, Adriana leads all aspects of Poetry Inn’s service to ensure guests experience the highest level of tranquility, comfort, and service during their stay.

Adriana joined the team in 2021 and brings a decade of opulent resort and fine dining experience to the role. It was Adriana’s first job as a food runner at the esteemed Morimoto Restaurant in Napa that initially raised her awareness of the importance of details when providing the highest levels of customer service, a cognizance that she has continued to develop throughout her career. Adriana also worked under the mentorship of Mike Sawyer at the ever-popular ZUZU Restaurant in Napa, where she was encouraged to learn and discover the world of hospitality and viticulture through culinary and travel exploration. 

A California native, Adriana moved to Hawaii in 2013 to work with some of the state’s most acclaimed resorts. An accomplished and trusted leader, she successfully led high-profile properties through complex situations, including catastrophic landslides, hurricanes, fires and more recently, a pandemic. In 2017, she managed the acquisition and transition of a hotel company in Kauai, working closely with the chairman & CEO of 1 Hotels and Marriott International. In 2019, she served as front office manager at the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua luxury resort on Maui where she further honed her leadership skills. Ultimately, her journey through the Hawaii luxury market led her back home, and in the beginning of 2020, she moved to Napa and dynamically managed multiple properties and teams for the Meritage Resort & Spa. 

Having grown up most of her life in Napa Valley, Adriana has a deep love for California and its bounty— in viticulture, gastronomy and hospitality. She studied literature and international marketing at Pierce College. Adriana has always had a natural affinity for literature. She speaks Spanish, French and Italian from her travels around the world. “What I find most fascinating about Poetry Inn is the dichotomy of poetry and nature—from the naming of each suite after a poet—to the breathtaking landscapes that celebrate the uniqueness of its location. Each artform nurturing one another in a form of homage.” says Adriana. “I feel a sense of clarity and peace when I’m at Poetry Inn, I am humbled to be part of the organization and lead the property through these exciting times!”
