Welcome to Napa Valley's Main Street

Welcome to Napa Valley’s Main Street

It only takes a few steps along Main Street to be charmed by St. Helena, where shops, galleries, and restaurants make it easy to while away an afternoon.

Off Main Street, Beringer and Charles Krug, two landmark wineries, call St. Helena home. The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) at Greyston offers cooking demonstrations and tours; built in the late 19th century, this building was home to the Christian Brothers Winery in the early 1900s. A few minutes away, Bale Grist Mill State Historic Park holds milling demonstrations every weekend, using its mighty 36-foot water wheel and grist mill from the 1800s.

The City of St. Helena is located in the center of the world famous wine growing Napa Valley, 65 miles north of San Francisco.

What Our Beautiful Happy Clients Say

The Schemkes

Testimonials

For those of you facing the difficult decision of buying your first home, our experience with Donovan Schemke has to be shared! When we made the most important purchase of our lives we trusted Donovan to help us navigate this difficult and red hot housing market. It turned out to be the best decision we could have ever made. more

Pamela and Donovan are top notch real estate agents. Definitely experts in the industry. Having had bought and sold 4 homes in the past 3 years in Marin county and in Fresno county and now a fifth home in Fairfield which was a last minute rush to market sale of our parents home; they helped us immensely from helping us get in touch with a local estate sale expert to housecleaners and even helped coordinate the rebuilding of a 40 foot section of fence that fell down in a winter storm. We could not have done it without them and I would not think of using another team for any real estate needs in the solano county area. Hands down a superb experience. Excellent communication, excellent advice and extremely helpful. Thank you Pamela and Donovan! more

Donovan and Pam treated us like family! When we moved my father out of state from California, we left the sale of his house in the hands of Donovan Schemke. I was worried since we left the house rather quickly and unable to take care of some much needed repairs. Donovan took complete charge of the situation. After his inspection of the house, he made suggestions and helped set up bids for work that needed to be done. He was on site and communicated to me daily suppling updates (even pictures) of all repairs and work in progress. Because of his dedication and kindness, my father's house sold within a few weeks allowing us to move on and enjoy our lives in our new state and home.more
