Auberge du Soleil

Auberge du Soleil is the original Napa Valley wine country inn, a hilltop property in Rutherford above the valley floor whose Michelin-starred restaurant, terraced olive grove gardens, and panoramic views of the Napa Valley appellation have made it the founding address of luxury wine country hospitality in California and one of the most consistently recognized small luxury hotels in North America. The property that created the template for the Auberge Resorts Collection brand remains the most romantically positioned and culinarily prestigious of the Napa Valley luxury properties, and its hilltop vantage point above the vineyards creates a sense of arrival and setting that the valley floor and canyon properties cannot replicate. For planners whose groups want the most historically significant and culinarily distinguished wine country address in California, with a Michelin restaurant and valley views as the program centerpiece, Auberge du Soleil remains the gold standard against which every subsequent Napa Valley luxury property has been measured. Similar properties worth benchmarking include Meadowood Napa Valley and Auberge's own Stanly Ranch.
