Carneros Resort and Spa

Carneros Resort & Spa is such a special place. It somehow manages to combine luxury with a cozy, relaxed cottage atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable the moment you arrive. All of the accommodations are individual cottages (with some multi-bedroom options available), each with its own private, enclosed backyard and outdoor shower. My cottage even had an outdoor soaking tub, which quickly became one of my favorite features of the stay. It’s the kind of amenity you don’t realize you need until you have it. The backyards are surprisingly spacious and thoughtfully designed. In addition to the outdoor shower and tub, there were padded lounge chairs and a fire pit with seating, making it the perfect place to relax with a glass of wine in the evening. The property itself is surrounded by vineyards with beautiful views of the surrounding hillsides, which really makes you feel immersed in wine country. Inside the cottage, the design continues to impress. There’s a gas fireplace, a large bathroom with heated floors (which I absolutely loved), and one of the best minibars I’ve ever encountered. It was stocked with a great selection of local snacks and drinks, and even included puzzles and games, which felt like a really thoughtful touch. The beds also feature adjustable comfort technology that allows each side to be customized for firmness. The dining options on property are also excellent. Hilltop Restaurant offers both buffet and à la carte breakfast, and the breakfast spread was easily one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve experienced. Boon Fly Café is a casual spot known for comfort food and fantastic donuts, while FARM Restaurant and Bar offers more elevated, Italian-inspired dishes. There is also a Market on property with grab-and-go food, coffee, and a really nice gift shop. There’s no shortage of things to do around the resort either. The property offers daily wellness classes, farm tours (there are chickens and a culinary garden on site), and other activities throughout the week. There are two pools — one adults-only with a large hot tub overlooking the vineyards, and another that is more family-friendly. The resort also has pickleball courts. One of the most unique perks is the fleet of Cadillac SUVs that guests can borrow for up to six hours per day to explore nearby wineries, which is an incredible bonus when visiting Napa. Overall, Carneros is a fantastic option for a wide range of travelers. It would be perfect for a romantic getaway, a family trip, or even a group celebration like a milestone birthday or bachelorette weekend. The combination of private cottages, beautiful scenery, and great food makes it a truly memorable place to stay in Napa Valley.

Come annually for our birthdays and it's always fabulous but seemed even more so this time; from pulling up to leaving, the staff are incredibly attentive and engaged, as befits a luxe resort. The resort itself remains as beautiful as always, but also had two great meals (one at the Farm and the other at Boon Fly) and great weather and all in all a fabulous resort

One of the best hotels I have stayed at in my life. Beautiful grounds, attentive staff, all the amenities you coudl ask for!

Four of us traveled from the East Coast to Napa for a girls’ trip, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. Much of that was thanks to the outstanding care from the Carneros Resort team, especially Jennifer Currie, Guest Relations Manager. Jennifer was attentive, warm, and incredibly thoughtful, making every detail of our stay seamless and special. From coordinating fabulous wine tastings and transportation with our wonderful driver, Jorge Guzman of Elevage Luxury Wine Tours, to anticipating our needs with pastries and beverages, her service truly elevated our experience. We stayed in a beautiful, quiet, clean, well-appointed and fully stocked two-king bedroom cottage with a hot tub, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, and so much more. The resort location is a short drive about 10 minutes to downtown Napa and is stunning, beautiful grounds, exceptional views, décor, food, and amenities beyond expectations. We had a wonderful stay and cannot wait to return next year. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed!

Beautiful and casual yet fun and romantic! We enjoyed our king cottage with rocking chairs on the porch, rode e-bikes, adults only jacuzzi and pool is 24 hours overlooking the pasture/mountains, s’mores kit on our own fire pit & deck. Plenty of relaxing common areas to hang out or retreat to your own garden and yard. Service was attentive and friendly and just pure enjoyment overall for us!
