Winemakers Kathryn and Craig Hall run this luxurious hotel tucked away between the town of Yountville and the city of Napa – and it’s within walking distance of many of the region’s acclaimed wineries, including the Halls’ own. The hotel itself is situated amidst pines, redwoods and vineyards, with 43 guest rooms and suites that combine country charm with understated elegance. All rooms open onto private patios, which offer the perfect spot to soak up a Napa Valley sunrise or sunset.

5. Las Alcobas

This boutique hotel overlooks the Beringer Estate Winery – the oldest continuously operating winery in Napa Valley. There’s even a private “secret” bridge that leads directly to the heart of the winery. The rooms and suites, or alcobas, have been designed by renowned interior design studio Yabu Pushelberg to evoke a sense of sanctuary. The spa is equally as chic, set in a contemporary 3,500-square-foot (325-square-meter) barn. Borrow a resort bike and explore the surrounding area, or just luxuriate by the outdoor pool.
