Set in the heart of California’s historic wine country, Carneros Resort and Spa is a celebration of its exquisite surroundings – ingredients at its three exceptional restaurants grow in the kitchen garden, and the fine wine you sip while checking in is sourced from neighboring vineyards. Lauding the beauty of its tranquil location, the resort crafts a genuine sense of relaxation in Napa, from the sanctuary-like suites, cottages, and private homes to the Spa at Carneros, the on-site wine events, and the two swimming pools, both offering majestic views.

  • Unwind in secluded luxury at one of the 86 suites, cottages, and private homes
  • Explore the valleys’ superb vineyards, eateries, and wine tasting rooms
  • Relax in the adults-only Hilltop Pool, or sink into the hot tub with far-reaching views
  • Go for sunset strolls along the flower-lined paths weaving through the gently rolling estate
  • Arrange for a gentle massage, a sound therapy session, or an antioxidant body scrub at the Spa at Carneros

Head to COOP, the resort’s very own luxury boutique, where you find big names sharing space with new talent, featuring brands such as Clare V, Figue, Frank & Eileen, and Golden Goose. Visit the shop’s full-time embroiderer at the customization station in order to personalize your garments.
