Napa Native Named Manager of Yountville's Lavender Inn

Napa resident Zoe Fortune has been named manager of Four Sisters Inns’ Lavender, announced Shelley Post, president of Four Sisters Inns.

Fortune began working as a front desk staffer at Lavender part time while a senior at Napa High School, Post said. After graduation, Zoe worked at Yountville’s Napa Valley Lodge as a guest services agent, returning to Four Sisters Inns last June as assistant manager.

A recipient of the Anthony Narigi Hospitality Scholarship for students planning a career in the hospitality industry, Fortune is currently attending Napa Valley Junior College, where she plans to complete her AA degree in hospitality management in 2016. Meanwhile, Fortune also works part time at Castello di Amorosa winery, allowing her to broaden her knowledge of the wine industry, Post said.

“In addition to her skill managing an inn, Zoe is just a wonderful resource for our Napa Valley guests,” said Post.

Located at 2020 Webber Ave., Lavender is a favorite with Yountville visitors.

In business since 1975, the Four Sisters Inns collection is comprised of 16 properties in California, including Blackbird Inn and Milliken Creek Inn and Spa (Napa), Maison Fleurie (Yountville), Gaige House (Glen Ellen), Inn at Sonoma (Sonoma) and Healdsburg Inn on the Plaza (Healdsburg).
