Auberge du Soleil, Auberge Resorts Collection

The resort is at 180 Rutherford Hill Rd, on the hillside above the Silverado Trail in Rutherford, mid-Napa Valley. San Francisco International is about 65 miles and 1 hour 45 minutes by car; Santa Rosa's Charles M. Schulz airport is roughly 45 minutes. St. Helena and Yountville are both within 15 minutes.

No. The Spa at Auberge du Soleil is reserved for hotel guests only — no day spa, no outside bookings. If day-spa access matters, Solage (same Auberge family, 20 minutes north) is the sibling that sells it.

Yes — guests under 16 are not permitted on the property, spa included. It is the most fully adult environment in the Napa luxury set, and the calm is a large part of what you pay for.

Signature massages run $310 for 60 minutes, $450 for 90, and $610 for 120. Facials include the Rose Quartz (rose gommage and quartz face massage) and an LED-microcurrent-collagen option; enhancements and couples programs price on request. Menu prices exclude gratuity and tax — budget beyond the sticker.

Menu prices do not include gratuity, per the resort's own materials — the opposite of sister property Solage, which adds 20% automatically, and Meadowood, which builds 20% in. Confirm handling when booking; assume you are tipping on top.

No — no resort fee, and both valet and self-parking are complimentary. At this rate tier that is nearly unique in the valley; only Meadowood matches the no-fee posture among Napa's luxury flagships.

The three temperate soaking pools (cool, warm, hot), steam room, and infrared sauna are complimentary for all in-house guests. That open-access policy is rarer than it sounds — most Napa competitors gate their wet facilities behind treatment bookings.

The Restaurant at Auberge du Soleil has held a Michelin star for roughly 17 consecutive years under Chef Robert Curry (since 2005), with the terrace as the valley's most famous dining perch. The more casual Bistro & Bar shares the view at a lower spend. Book The Restaurant well ahead.

Honestly: it is the weakest part of a five-star property. Forbes rates the hotel Five-Star but the spa Four-Star, and a recurring guest verdict calls treatments "costly and nothing out of the ordinary." Book the soaking pools and the setting; book the blowout treatments at Meadowood or Solage.

December through February, when entry rates drop toward $1,200 — still the valley's most expensive off-season floor. Harvest (September–November here, tracking the vineyard calendar) pushes suites past $5,000. The annual winter maintenance closure usually lands in late January; check dates before booking that window.

Yes. The 50 rooms and suites run 520–1,800 sq ft and start around $1,200–$1,600 off-season, climbing to $2,300–$5,000+ in peak weeks. You are paying for the hillside, the terrace, and the adults-only quiet — the spa is an amenity at that price, not the reason.

It is the default choice, and the machinery is practiced: terrace tables at sunset, the Fireside Retreat couples ritual with champagne, and a staff fluent in special occasions. If the occasion is the point, this is the strongest single-property answer in Napa.
