Why Stay Here

Spa Terra sits inside a wine cave carved into the hillside, with stone walls and trickling water audible during every treatment. The Junior Suites come with sleeper sofas, and the One Bedroom Suites include full kitchens and patios large enough for dinner. Families treat the pools as base camp, and most guests who book one spa treatment end up scheduling a second.

  • Spa Terra is built inside a wine cave with stone walls and underground treatment rooms
  • One Bedroom Suites include full kitchens and private patios
  • Two Bedroom Suites connect King and Two Queen rooms for families
  • Dogs stay in King Rooms and join guests in vineyard walks
  • Ember Steak serves dry-aged beef and Napa wines nightly

The Experience

Days here follow the rhythm of spa appointments, poolside cabana reservations, and dinner at Ember Steak, where the menu skews toward dry-aged beef and local wines. Families claim two-bedroom configurations by connecting a King Room to a Two Queen Room, spreading out gear and letting kids bounce between spaces. Dogs sleep in the King Rooms and ride the elevator down to the vineyards in the morning. Spa Terra books up by late afternoon, so most regulars call ahead or grab same-day slots right after breakfast at Olive & Hay.

The Setting

The Meritage Resort and Spa setting

The Meritage Resort and Spa spreads across vineyard acreage in Carneros, with grapevines visible from the King Rooms and Two Queen Rooms facing south. The resort is built around the Village, a central plaza with fire pits that glow after sunset, lined with tasting rooms and outdoor seating. Ember Steak anchors the dining scene, and Blend Cafe handles breakfast and coffee runs. The property feels large—guests drive between the lobby and their room more often than they walk.
