Auberge du Soleil

Auberge Resorts Collection · Hillside vineyard resort · Rutherford

The valley's grande dame, opened in 1981 and still its benchmark, set among a 33-acre olive grove on a Rutherford hillside with the whole of the valley floor laid out below. Rooms are Mediterranean in spirit, terracotta and cream, each with a private terrace facing west over the vines. The property holds three Michelin Keys, the guide's highest hotel distinction.

Why we recommend it

The definitive Napa address — a one-star restaurant, a Michelin Three-Key rating, and a view no newer property can replicate.
