Investment Overview

Marcus & Millichap is proud to present a rare freestanding restaurant property with irreplaceable drive-thru rights in the heart of Napa Valley’s wine country. This offering represents one of the most unique redevelopment opportunities in St. Helena, a market defined by high barriers to entry, exceptional affluence, and year-round tourism. Please contact listing agent for more information. Positioned on a hard, signalized corner along Main Street/Highway 29—the primary artery through St. Helena—the site benefits from outstanding visibility to an estimated 40,000–70,000 vehicles per day. The property features the only drive-thru in the city, protected under grandfathered rights that cannot be replicated under current zoning. Located directly across from St. Helena High School, the site draws consistent local traffic while also benefiting from the region’s constant influx of visitors. Located in the heart of Napa Valley, St. Helena is one of California’s most exclusive small towns, known for its historic charm, world-class wineries, and high quality of life. The city attracts more than a million visitors annually, drawn by luxury hotels, fine dining, and a vibrant arts and culture scene. With a median home value exceeding $1.2 million and average household incomes well above the national average, St. Helena offers a rare combination of affluence and year-round tourism. Strict zoning, limited commercial inventory, and strong community preservation efforts make it one of the highest barrier-to-entry retail markets in the state—supporting long-term property values and tenant demand. The existing A&W tenant will remain in operation until April 2026, providing a defined window to execute a redevelopment, re-tenanting, or owner-occupancy plan. With its irreplaceable drive-through entitlement, prime Napa Valley location, and high-profile corner site, this property offers the rare chance to control one of the most visible and in-demand retail locations in the region. Take advantage of the rare opportunity to purchase a truly trophy location at the heart of the leading Wine Area in the United States.
