Calistoga Ranch, an Auberge Resort
Bucolic opulence in the valley
Offering 50 spacious lodges where guests can become one with the tranquil canyon surrounds, symbiosis with nature isn’t just a buzzword at this Napa Valley resort.
Tree trunks sprout through deck floorboards and thick branches anchor doorways, clean lines and natural materials. To add to natural ambience, properties feature expansive patios and outdoor showers (along with outdoor hot tubs at the largest lodges).
The resort’s eco-friendly experience programme further ties guests into the stunning location, with family friendly options (such as harvesting eggs and playing with goats), personal wine-blending sessions in the “wine cave”, beekeeping and yoga-and-wine pairing sessions.
