SOLAGE, AN AUBERGE RESORT

In the 1860’s, the Napa-area region of Calistoga became a popular destination for upwardly mobile San Francisco residents looking to escape the cool summer weather and to enjoy the famous geothermal mineral waters in the area. Solage continues this tradition–but ups the “wow” factor exponentially. Walking distance to downtown Calistoga, this modern resort features 83 guest studios and six one-bedroom suites framed by the soft ridges of nearby mountains and an unforgettable award-winning spa, known for its homage to historical Calistoga via its geothermal-water Bathhouse and signature Mudslide Napa Valley spa treatment. Its signature restaurant, Solbar, which is renowned for its inventive California soul food recipes, indoor-outdoor spirited atmosphere and expansive wine portfolio, just earned its eighth consecutive one-star rating from the Michelin Guide San Francisco: Bay Area & Wine Country Restaurants. (The rating guide is internationally recognized as one of the most universally respected culinary authorities of fine dining.) SOLAGE.AUBERGERESORTS.COM.

DON'T MISS IT! This summer, the resort will play host to a roster of events from pool parties and Harvest parties to a special 4th of July Oyster and Champagne Happy Hour. Weekly activities range from Fried Chicken Tuesday to live jazz nights and DJ’s spinning tunes every Friday. Rates start at $425.
