HOTEL SUMMARY
Where authentic Napa Valley farmhouse charm meets contemporary luxury, Carneros Resort and Spa emerges from rolling vineyard hills as the region's most distinctive retreat. This Forbes Four-Star sanctuary transforms 28 acres of pristine Carneros countryside into an intimate collection of 86 sun-washed cottages, each designed to capture the agricultural soul of America's premier wine region.
Founded by visionary Keith Rogal and his partners in the late 1990s, Carneros Resort and Spa was conceived as a genuine wine country experience that honors Napa's farming heritage. Under current ownership by Flynn Properties, the resort underwent a transformative $9 million renovation in 2018, elevating its status while preserving the vernacular farm architecture that defines its character. The property's 17 cottage neighborhoods—named after local flora like Lavender, Fig, and Juniper—earned recognition as a Leading Hotels of the World member, cementing its position among Napa's luxury hotel elite.
The resort's 86 accommodations include six private multi-bedroom residences and eight expansive suites, each featuring whitewashed walls, exposed beam ceilings, and heated stone floors that epitomize refined farmhouse living. Signature cottages with private backyards offer expansive decks with porcelain soaking tubs, electric fire pits, and fountain features, while front porch cottages provide rocking chair serenity overlooking manicured gardens. Every cottage includes Nespresso coffee makers, stocked refrigerators, and in-cottage dining services, with rates reflecting the property's premium positioning in Napa's luxury accommodation landscape.
Culinary excellence anchors the Carneros Resort and Spa experience through FARM restaurant, where executive chefs tend visible gardens daily, harvesting ingredients for farm-to-table menus that celebrate Napa's agricultural bounty. The renovated FARM features an outdoor terrace with fireplace seating, while Boon Fly Cafe offers casual dining alongside the onsite Market general store. The Forbes Four-Star spa provides sanctuary within vineyard views, complemented by an adults-only infinity pool, yoga studio, and fitness center that cater to wellness-focused travelers.
