Why Stay Here

The Carriage House opens directly onto two acres of estate Cabernet vines, with a private deck where guests watch morning mist settle over the rows. That view—and the quiet—explains why the same visitors return every year for the same week.

  • The Carriage House suite opens onto the vineyard with a private deck
  • Complimentary tasting of estate-grown CDV Cabernet and Sauvignon Blanc at booking
  • Two-course breakfast uses produce from the on-site garden
  • Morning coffee delivered to your door before dawn, on request
  • Two acres of estate Cabernet vines available for walks anytime

The Experience

Guests request morning door service—coffee delivered quietly before dawn—then head to a two-course chef-prepared breakfast that might include tomatoes or herbs from the garden. Vineyard walks happen whenever the mood strikes, and hosts arrange reservations and winery access based on what guests actually want to drink. Some people spend the afternoon by the pool; others take the bottle of CDV Cabernet back to their room and skip dinner plans entirely.

The Setting

Chateau de Vie setting

Chateau de Vie was established in 1998 on a working vineyard estate surrounded by deep-canopy evergreens at the north end of Napa Valley. The property grows Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes that go into CDV estate wines, which guests taste during a complimentary tasting scheduled at booking. Lavender and rose plantings frame the lap pool and hot tub, and the garden supplies herbs and vegetables for breakfast service on the terrace.
