Napa Valley Earthquake UPDATE: Wineries Are Up and Running, Westin Is Still Recovering

It's been over two months since the 6.o earthquake that rocked Napa Valley caused hundreds of millions of dollars of damage. With the help of federal aid, various fundraisers, and plenty of blood, sweat, and tears, the popular California destination is nearly back to business as usual, just in time for the harvest season. Almost all wineries are fully operational once again, and hotels that had to temporarily close -- such as Andaz Napa and the Napa Valley Marriott Hotel -- have since reopened. The Westin Verasa, which sustained significant damage -- mostly due to burst pipes and leaks -- has also reopened, but at a much smaller capacity. All facilities -- such as the pool and restaurants -- are available to guests, but only about 60 of the total 180 rooms are available for occupancy. Therefore, the hotel is taking no new reservations for October and November, and the staff is happy to assist guests with current reservations for those months to reschedule or book at another Westin property. We will continue to keep you updated on its progress!
