Meadowood | Napa Valley luxury

Settled on a private estate just outside of St. Helena, California, Meadowood Napa Valley offers a casual yet elegant setting for the perfect romantic getaway. With 85 cottages, each suite offers a living room and separate bedroom. Nestled on a beautiful hillside of live oak trees, come to Meadowood just to relax in the beautiful northern California weather, or indulge yourself in active pleasures such as hiking, tennis, golf, or croquet.

After dark, enjoy the incredible cuisine of Chef Christopher Kostow of The Restaurant at Meadowood. I recently enjoyed a five course tasting meal at Meadowood, each course being paired with a selected wine: an amuse bouche of Cold Smoked Toro, Chilled Carrot Soup, Monkfish Roasted in Vadouvan (pictured), Slow Cooked Beef Tenderloin (that literally melted in the mouth), and a Valrohna Chocolate dessert.

When you venture beyond the resort, the famous vineyards of Napa Valley are located just minutes from Meadowood. Enjoy biking or driving through the scenic countryside and exploring the shops of St. Helena. If fine wine is your passion, a Virtuoso luxury travel consultant can design a customized wine tour for you, even getting you into vineyards not normally open to the public.

For the best values in luxury travel, book Meadowood through your Virtuoso travel consultant. In addition to specially discounted rates, Virtuoso guests enjoy an upgrade when available upon arrival, daily full Breakfast for two, a bottle of Napa Valley cabernet, and a full Lunch for two once during your stay.
