Napa Valley Vine Trail
Auberge du Soleil is an active member and supporter of Napa Valley Vine Trail , a grassroots organization chartered with constructing a 47-mile multi-use recreational trail for hiking, jogging and biking. When complete, the project will connect San Francisco with Napa Valley, from the Vallejo Ferry Terminal to the northern end of the Valley in Calistoga. Our hotel matches a recommended $4 donation from every guest stay (opt-out available at checkout) to support the effort and encourages donation from all restaurant and bar patrons
