Signature Experience
The private lodge terrace at dusk, with vineyard views and enough separation from neighboring lodges to feel like a standalone retreat rather than a resort room.
Private lodge format with outdoor terraces on Napa vineyard land, at the valley's quieter northern end in Calistoga. The Auberge collection's third Napa property, offering a more secluded alternative to Auberge du Soleil's hillside visibility.

Nearly 2,500 sq ft of space, private pool
Accolades
One of the very best five-star hotels in the Napa Valley
Best time: September and October deliver Napa's most magical luxury conditions during harvest season, with golden vineyard light, crush activities at the finest estates, and the valley's culinary calendar at its most vibrant.
Demand: Napa Valley maintains year-round luxury demand as America's premier wine destination, with harvest season from late August through October creating the highest demand. Summer months see strong leisure tourism while wine auction weekends in May and November create significant spikes.
Pricing: Ultra-luxury Napa estates and boutique hotels peak significantly during harvest season from August through October, with the Napa Valley Wine Auction in June commanding extraordinary weekend premiums. January through March offers the best value with the vineyards dormant but the culinary scene fully
Insider tip: Arrange a private barrel tasting with the winemaker at a first-growth Cabernet estate during the first week of crush in early September - the combination of harvest energy, cellar access, and the estate's most exclusive wines creates an experience impossible to replicate at any other time of year.
Avoid: Avoid the extreme heat of July and August when Napa Valley temperatures regularly exceed 38°C, making outdoor vineyard exploration uncomfortable and the terroir experience less intimate than shoulder season visits.
