		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I adore downtown Napa; it has a lovely urban feel yet it is situated on the beautifully renovated Napa River Waterfront.  There are dozens of tasting rooms, modern classy hotels and historic B&#38;B&#8217;s, fabulous restaurants, nightlife (like salsa dancing at Ceja&#8217;s or jazz at Silo&#8217;s ) and shopping all within walking distance.
