Twenty years ago this spring, Auberge du Soleil, one of Northern California's most revered dining establishments, opened the doors of its inn, a handful of maisons scattered across a 33-acre hillside olive grove in Napa Valley. This month, the acclaimed "Inn of the Sun" begins a new chapter in its history, as it unveils a sophisticated renovation, welcomes a new chef and offers new amenities created to elevate the art of relaxation for which the Auberge has become renowned.
"Auberge du Soleil brought a new style of informal elegance, luxury and service to the world of hospitality 20 years ago," said George Goeggel, Managing Partner. "For many, it embodies the perfect retreat, and we've been pleased to see how many guests have returned again and again throughout the years. Few hotels age gracefully. At 20, the Auberge is better than ever."

Wine & Dine
For many, the name Auberge du Soleil connotes cuisine first, with the inn of the same name a delightful afterthought. Indeed, Auberge du Soleil began as a restaurant created by visionary restaurateur Claude Rouas more than 20 years ago. Since then, the Auberge has maintained its legacy as a culinary destination, where innovative menus inspired by the bounty of Napa Valley are paired with wine in ways that delight and inspire longtime devotees.
Spa & Fitness Facilities
The Auberge Spa is a natural extension of California wine country's most luxurious country inn, Auberge du Soleil. Built for the exclusive use of the inn's guests, The Auberge Spa occupies a 7,000 square feet stucco building, overlooking the Napa Valley.
It embraces a nurturing philosophy embodied by a unique menu of body and facial treatments, which utilizes natural ingredients indigenous to the region.
