Auberge de Soleil, Rutherford, CA
It’s not just an award-winning restaurant, it’s also an award-winning hotel and spa. Excellent in every way, The Auberge de Soleil (Inn of the Sun) combines the bounty of Napa Valley with Mediterranean influences. Request a table on the terrace, where you can enjoy one of the most incredible views in Napa Valley as the sun sets over vineyards and olive groves. Bring a sweater or jacket if you do; the nights can be chilly. Don’t even consider the chef’s tasting menu without the wine pairings: In Napa, to refuse wine is practically a criminal offense.
