Holiday Tour: In the News
We were happy that Jennifer Huffman of the Napa Register wrote a nice piece on the Holiday Tour. What she wrote about The Inn On First was the following:
Down First Street, Jim Gunther and Jamie Cherry welcomed partygoers at the Inn on First.
“It’s been a great year,” Cherry said. The innkeepers recently became the second California inn to become certified green by the California Green Lodging Association. To receive the award, the innkeepers incorporated a number of changes in their business including replacing plastic water bottles with aluminum containers, adding recycling bins to each room, switching to green cleaning products, and installing tankless water heaters. Customers these days notice such efforts, Cherry said. “Everyone said you have to distinguish yourselves.” Online reviews have also helped draw business their way, he noted.
On that afternoon, plenty of visitors were drawn to the Inn on First, sampling Mumm Napa Valley champagne and chef Gunther’s sweet and savory treats. Or perhaps it was the live tango music by ensemble Tango No 9.
“You gotta make them happy,” Cherry said, as he looked at his guests as they enjoyed the live music.
