If 36hrs is all you’ve got, don’t sweat. There’s a lot you can accomplish in a short amount of time if you know how to make the most of it. And one of the best towns to stay in to make that happen is St. Helena.

Known as more of a “locals town,” don’t let the super sweet main street USA vibe fool you. This place is packed with some of the best culinary talent in California, filled with luxury shopping, and is even home to the sweetest single screen movie theater. You’ll love how the low-key vibes of this charming town instantly transport you on your quick getaway and since nothing on this itinerary is more than a 10min drive you can truly see, do, eat, and drink it all.
