HotelMeadowood Napa Valley
A 250-acre estate on land first settled in 1961, with wood-lined cottages scattered across oak groves.

The floor-to-ceiling windows in every room open directly onto the vineyards, and most guests leave them open until sunset. Fresh lavender is piped through the ventilation system, from the lobby into the guest rooms, which makes the whole building smell like a spa.
Mornings begin with yoga on the lawn near the vineyard, and the class schedule is posted by the elevator. The restaurant serves farm-to-table dishes for breakfast and dinner, with ingredients sourced from the on-site garden and nearby farms. Afternoons revolve around the pool, which gets full sun after 3 p.m., and evening drinks happen on the terrace with views of the Mayacamas.

The building sits on a 68-acre working vineyard property just south of downtown St. Helena, with rows of Cabernet Sauvignon vines running right up to the pool deck. The main structure is a low-profile contemporary building with sliding glass doors that open to private terraces in each room. Most of the property is designed around the idea that you should be able to see the vines from wherever you are—the fitness center, the restaurant, even the hallways.
Request a room with vineyard views for a private balcony experience, perfect for enjoying the sunset. Consider visiting during the harvest season for an immersive wine experience, as many local events take place during this vibrant time. The property offers a complimentary shuttle service to nearby tasting rooms, making it easy to explore without the hassle of driving.
