STAY
FEATURED
Auberge du Soleil
Auberge du Soleil, or “Inn of the Sun”, is a Relais & Chateaux property and a Forbes Five Star and Michelin Guide award winner. The Auberge du Soleil Restaurant has an extensive wine collection, seasonal inspired and locally sourced ingredients, and oh yeah, 11 consecutive Michelin Stars.
Wildcatter Hint-Go to the lobby and ask for the Sculpture Garden Guide Pamphlet. Stroll among the grounds and view the outstanding works of art outdoors. The grounds are as exquisite as the art.
EAT
The French Laundry
Thomas Keller has been making culinary history there since 1994. Dress Code is enforced so Wildcatter men need to bring your jacket.
Goose & Gander
Hamburger topped with bone marrow or foie gras torchon anyone? Or you can try the crispy olives with pistachios.
Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch
Sometimes, after several wine tours, you are happy to find a great whiskey selection.
PLAY
WINE TOURS
Hall Rutherford
Great wines, views, private tours and a wine cave to rival any! A must see, no spoilers here!
WINE TOURS
Vineyard 7 & 8
Have your concierge set up a private tour and lunch. After the tour and an exquisite meal, burn your calories off on the bocce ball court.
WINE TOURS
Fantesca Estate and Winery
Private tour, maybe a picnic lunch on the deck with the glamping tent, and have a tasting in the wine cave, and then have another tasting in the estate room and enjoy the fortune “corkies”.
Wildcatter Hint
Get a professional driver to escort you the wineries. That way each person can enjoy the tasting. Drivers are also great sources of information and additional recommendations. Safety and responsibility first, then wine second. Do not schedule any more than three tours in a day, then back to your suite and nap.
Personalized Transportation Service
Jack Fuller, independent driver with over 26 years experience and a long history of driving for Auberge du Soleil guests.
SPA
The Auberge du Soleil Napa Valley Spa
The Auberge du Soleil Napa Valley Spa delivers the beauty of the Napa Valley by embracing the outdoor nature in its Zen Master design. The spa’s three stone fountains and olive trees create a healing and relaxing world. The warm infinity-edge pool is the best view in Napa Valley.
Wildcatters Hint: Talk to the concierge about yoga and meditation classes at the La Pagode located in the Sculpture Garden.
