Dear Guest,

It is my honor to reach out to introduce myself and to share with you that, beginning today, Poetry Inn Napa Valley has transitioned ownership from the Lede family to our family group. After living most of my adult life in France, I made Northern California my home in 2016 to develop our passion for generous hospitality, genuine service and the highest level of purpose and craftmanship in everything we do—from creating exceptional wine at Sullivan Rutherford Estate to offering our clients memorable curated daytime and now overnight experiences. We have a similarly ambitious and terroir-driven legacy agave estate in my native Mexico, Loco Tequila, producing the highest level of purity of agave spirit. 

As a family group, our goal has always been the pursuit of excellence with an unequivocal commitment to quality based on a philosophy of constant improvement, elegance, sophistication and respect of tradition and legacy. We’d like to thank Cliff Lede and his family for the vision and stewardship of this remarkable property over the last 20 years. 

For those of you planning a visit to Poetry Inn or holding a future reservation, we would like to reassure you that the commitment to excellence you’ve come to expect remains unwavering. As we embark on this new chapter, we are dedicated to preserving the legacy of Poetry Inn Napa Valley while curating unique experiences to create lifetime memories for all our guests.

While eventually a new identity and name for the Inn will be revealed, guests can expect all reservations, staff and services to remain the same, including similar access to Cliff Lede Vineyards, as well as additional experiences and benefits at Sullivan Rutherford Estate.

We are very much looking forward to sharing news of future developments at the property. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or our dearest hotel manager, Scott Trace.

Yours sincerely,

Juan-Pablo (JP) Torres Padilla

Managing Partner
