 Chardonnay
Golf Club
is a 27-hole semi-private golf facility located Southeast
of the city of Napa in Jamieson Canyon at the gateway to the
world renown Napa Valley wine district. Unlike virtually all
courses today, Chardonnay’s golfers are not asked to
play amidst any private residences. Our 27-holes of semi-private
championship golf offer a variety of challenges for players
of all skill levels. The 27-hole layout features three nine-hole
courses named Lakes, Meadows and Vineyards. The opportunity
to play three different 18-hole combinations presents the
golfer with a unique golf destination in the bay area. All
three 9-hole courses meander through 130 acres of Chardonnay
and Merlot Vineyards and feature numerous lakes and creek
crossing, a wide variety of native flora and fauna.
 Elmshaven
- This stately country Victorian residence -- known since
1900 as Elmshaven -- was built in 1885 by railroad developer
and executive Robert H. Pratt and served as a vacation home
to the Pratt family until 1900. Ellen G. White, one of the
founders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, purchased the
home in 1900 and lived here until her death in 1915. During
her life, White wrote about 60 religious books, including
nine volumes she penned in the upper writing room at Elmshaven.
Today, the home is furnished much as it was when Ellen White
lived and worked here. In fact, many of the furnishings belonged
to her, and still sit where she placed them. Elmshaven is
owned and maintained by the Seventh-day Adventist Church,
but is open to the public. Whether you are interested in architecture,
antiques, church history, or just want to see how some people
lived 100 years ago, you are welcome to enjoy the peaceful
environment of Elmshaven
 Napa
Soap Company was founded by Napa Valley local,
Sheila Rockwood. Having grown up in the Napa Valley, Sheila
wanted to create a product which utilized ingredients made
in the Napa Valley. She also wanted to create a product which
could truly work - one which others could enjoy and use. Sheila
was also very conscious in creating a small business which
she could manage in addition to raising her three sons - all
under the age of 5. Combining her interest in the environment,
aromatherapy and a prolific supply of lavender, Sheila discovered
that soap offered a natural outlet for her talents. After
researching the therapeutic benefits of a by-product of the
local wine industry, cold-pressed grapeseed oil, Sheila decided
to use this wonderful ingredient throughout her line.
 Woodhouse
Chocolate is an intimate family business that
requires the strengths of each member of the Anderson Family.
Tracy Wood Anderson as Chocolatier leads the way in creating
the unique flavors and inventive expression of their confections.
Assisting her is her mother, Chris Wood who is accomplished
in both the fine arts and the culinary arts. Equally helpful
are daughters Christina and Caroline who are learning the
chocolatier’s craft in the kitchen and the art of customer
service working in the beautiful Woodhouse store. Last but
not least, by any means, is John Anderson, who is the glue
that holds it all together and keeps the doors open. Tracy
quips that she makes the chocolates, but John does everything
else.
