Our Picks — Napa Valley
Rutherford
Napa Valley's most legendary property — a 50-acre hillside estate above Rutherford with panoramic valley views from terrace suites and cottages, a three-Michelin-star restaurant serving California-French cuisine, and a 17,000 sq ft spa embedded into the hillside. The signature 'Provençal California' aesthetic has been defining wine country luxury since 1981.
St. Helena
A legendary 250-acre private resort in the St. Helena hills — with croquet lawns, tennis courts, nine-hole golf, and a three-Michelin-star restaurant (The Restaurant at Meadowood) that was the most innovative dining experience in California before the devastating 2020 Glass Fire. Rebuilt and reimagined, Meadowood continues to set the standard for understated Napa estate luxury.
Yountville
The most sustainable luxury hotel in America — LEED Platinum certified while delivering casita-level comfort with radiant heated floors, outdoor soaking tubs, and a spa program built around California wellness. In Yountville's compact walkable core, guests can reach Thomas Keller's French Laundry and Bouchon on foot, which is the entire point.
Yountville
A 80-room spa hotel in the heart of Yountville — the most sought-after address in Napa for culinary pilgrims — with a full-service spa, two pools, and a location that puts every Yountville restaurant (French Laundry, Bouchon, Ad Hoc, RDD) within a 5-minute walk. A polished, genuinely luxurious alternative to Bardessono at slightly more accessible prices.
St. Helena
A gracious 21-room Tuscan-inspired inn in the heart of St. Helena's main street, with a heated lap pool, Meili Spa, and direct access to Cindy Pawlcyn's Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen and the Napa Valley Wine Library. Understated and genuinely welcoming, it captures the unhurried rhythm of wine country without theatrical excess.
Calistoga
Calistoga's most sophisticated resort — a 22-acre modernist compound designed by Howard Backen with freestanding studio bungalows, Solbar restaurant (Michelin recognized), a natural hot springs geothermal pool complex, and a world-class spa featuring Calistoga mud treatments. The architecture and natural hot springs together create an experience that is wholly unique in American wine country.
