The Restaurant at Auberge du Soleil

"It all began with a (relatively) simple idea: to recreate the pastoral pleasures of a Provencial-style restaurant in the heart of wine country"

"Opened in 1981 by Provence native and San Francisco restaurateur Claude Rouas, food has always been front and center at Auberge with a full menu in both the restaurant and bar"

"Taking a cue from the olive-tree-studded landscape, this hotel with a renowned restaurant and spa cultivates a luxurious look that blends French and California style"

"And the hotel’s eponymous restaurant—serving seasonal, regionally sourced dishes like orange glazed suckling pig with broccoli rabe, peanuts, and pickled mustard seed—still packs in the foodies, as it has for a quarter-century"

"In addition, the house restaurant features a lovely outdoor patio with the best view of any dining venue in Napa"

"What began in 1981 as a simple Provence-inspired restaurant is now a full-fledged sanctuary"

"Under the direction of Executive Chef Robert Curry, the famed Napa Valley restaurant has earned back-to-back Michelin stars for farm-fresh fare paired with the Valley's finest wines"

"The sun-soaked swimming pool has views that rival those of the restaurant (and come paired with Italian ices and the never-ending temptation of a cool dip in the water)"

"From the Michelin-starred restaurant to the chicly renovated rooms, Auberge du Soleil, like a Napa Valley fine wine, only gets better with age"

"With two Michelin stars, Auberge’s main, global-inflected restaurant draws a crowd that swells well beyond hotel guests—the Japanese breakfast is particularly dreamy"
