Solage, Auberge Resorts Collection

We were on a road trip from San Diego to Napa and spent quite a bit of time deciding where to stay. It came down to two contenders: The Four Seasons or Solage, part of the Auberge Resorts Collection. Since we’ve visited Napa and Sonoma many times before, we wanted to avoid the winding drive across Highway 128 and stay right in Napa Valley proper. After diving into countless reviews and watching more influencer videos than we care to admit, we chose Solage - and we’re so glad we did! From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch. The valet greeted us warmly and directed us to reception, where check-in was swift and accompanied by a welcome glass of champagne. Interestingly, we were checked in by the Food and Beverage Manager himself (a front desk team member was out sick), and he couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. He also walked us through our AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts benefits. The valet then led us via golf cart to our studio and let us know we could either park right in front or take advantage of the complimentary valet. We chose the convenience of parking at our doorstep. We stayed in Studio 202 - and honestly, it felt more like a private cottage than a studio. Completely detached and surrounded by greenery, it reminded us of our bure in Fiji. The space was spotless, beautifully designed, and included a lovely birthday surprise: a chilled bottle of champagne for my husband! The bed sits in the center of the room and faces double doors that open to a spacious lanai with a fountain and ample seating — a perfect spot for relaxing. The resort grounds are lush, peaceful, and wonderfully walkable, with fountains and plants everywhere. As guests, we had access to the Bathhouse Spa, and it was incredible - truly a highlight. Floating in warm mineral waters, stepping into the saunas, and taking an invigorating dip in the cold plunge pool was exactly the kind of unwind we were hoping for. One minor gripe: some trees near the Bathhouse drop sharp, pin-like needles, which made walking barefoot a bit tricky around the lounge area. Dinner at Solbar was absolutely exceptional. The service was flawless, and the food was phenomenal. A standout was the tableside Old Fashioned — not only delicious but also a fun, memorable experience you won’t want to miss. And don’t skip breakfast either — it was just as impressive. We loved the Old Fashioneds so much we returned to sit at the Solbar bar, where we struck up a conversation with a lovely couple staying across the street at the Four Seasons. When I asked why they were dining here instead of at their own resort, they didn’t hesitate: “The food and bar at Solbar are way better.” Another perk we took full advantage of was the complimentary use of Mercedes-Benz vehicles for up to four hours. We took a quick (and stylish) trip into Calistoga’s charming downtown for a pharmacy run - and didn’t mind one bit that we were overdoing it in a luxury car. It’s Napa, after all! On our last evening after stuffing ourselves at Bouchon Bistro, we stopped by Pico Bar for an after-dinner cocktail, based on a recommendation from the Solbar staff. Unfortunately, the drinks didn’t meet expectations -we left them at the bar and returned to Solbar, where the cocktails by Kelly were much better crafted and more enjoyable. Sadly, our two-night stay flew by. At checkout, Danny made the farewell especially memorable. He personally walked us to our car, addressed us by name, handed us bottled water for the road, and gave us a warm sendoff. It was a simple gesture, but it truly elevated our entire experience. We’re already missing it - and yes, our socks are still nowhere to be found after Solbar! We’ve been enthusiastically recommending Solage to friends, and we will absolutely return.

We traveled to Solage to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. Solage is one of our favorite places to stay, so it was an easy choice for us to make it the celebration destination. The property is beautiful and invites leisurely walks, you feel relaxed just by being there. It was Easter weekend and there were some fun activities for the kiddos as well :). The movie night was such a wonderful experience! Our 6y/o son and us had so much fun and having a Real bunny on site during the movie night was such a delight! Kids (and adults ;) ) could gently pet him :). This made our stay extra special! Thank you so much for making our stay so fun and memorable!

Our resort, was the Auberge Solage resort . I really think we scored because we arrived on a Monday we were upgraded to a cottage with its own private Jacuzzi. The accommodations were amazing. It was a separate cottage with a living room room, separated by a wall and then the main bedroom and bathroom. The unit had a fireplace, a mini bar a desk a walk-in steam shower bathtub and double sinks. The yard was good sized with a nice lounge area and of course the Jacuzzi was a big plus. Service at the resort was impeccable. We had a spa day on Wednesday where we had a couples massage and then hung out in the bath house for the rest of the day. Super relaxing. The bathhouse is a separate area from the public pool area, which is itself a site to behold it has a cabana restaurant and bar that serve delicious Mexican fare. Walking around the property is easy and the grounds are absolutely beautiful with Rosemary and olive trees planted throughout.

We love Solage - have been going there annually since 2010. The staff is warming and friendly - the service is excellent. The food is also amazing and healthy. We used the gym everyday and the entire spa area is wonderful. I highly recommend Solage to anyone looking to have a relaxing visit to wine country!

We went here for a family trip and it was absolutely perfect. We were able to use all of the amenities - the various pools, hot tubs, cold plunges, sauna, games, and hiking trails. They were all available and nice (Bishop's Lodge should learn from them lol). The food was great. The rooms were lovely. This was a fabulous experience.
