Hotel Yountville, Napa Valley

With its impressive portfolio of Michelin-starred restaurants and award-winning tasting rooms, Yountville is considered Napa Valley’s gastronomic centre. And where better to take it all in than from the eponymous Hotel Yountville, itself the proud owner of an exquisite farm-to-table restaurant, Heritage Oak, where delicious dishes are created from sustainable, seasonal and local produce. Dine indoors by the fireplace, or out under the Californian sun on the poolside terrace.

When you’re not immersing yourself in the delights of the adjacent vineyards (bicycles are available for this very purpose), you can unwind by the pool or retreat to the serenity of the hotel’s world-class spa with its six treatment rooms, Swiss showers and luxurious hydrotherapy tubs. You may find your own room the perfect haven with its wrought-iron four-poster bed, rain shower, oversized sunken tub and stone fireplace.
