Introducing Auberge Insiders
For celebrated chef Christopher Kostow, the perfect Napa Valley getaway starts close to home — at Solage, “a true amenity and luxury.” Nestled in the heart of Calistoga, it’s more than just a retreat — it’s an extension of his home, where everyday life feels like a vacation.
Day 1
Morning | Stretch, Sweat, Solbar
Start your day strong with a workout at the fitness center or a complimentary fitness class, then refuel at Solbar. You can’t go wrong with the chilaquiles.
Afternoon | Trail to Table
Just minutes from Solage, the Oat Mill Mine Trail offers a scenic adventure perfect for all ages. After your hike, head to St. Helena for lunch at The Charter Oak.
Evening | Sunset Dinner
After splashing in the pool with the kids, refresh and head to Picobar for an alfresco dinner, where you can unwind and watch the sun dip behind the beautiful Mayacamas Mountains.
Day 2
Morning | Hit the Courts
Following some family-friendly competition on the pickleball courts, rent a complimentary Solage bike cruiser and pedal into town. Don’t miss Calistoga’s weekly Farmers’ Market.
Afternoon | Journey to Downtown Napa
Cruise down the scenic Silverado Trail in a Solage Mercedes-Benz towards the Oxbow Public Market for lunch at Loveski Deli. The Tuna Melt and Braised Brisket are must-tries.
Evening | Wine, Dine, & Unwind
After exploring the town, drive back towards Yountville for dinner at Ciccio Napa Valley and enjoy simple salads, pizzas and pasta, with a glass (or two) of Altamura wine.
Day 3
Morning | The Ultimate Wellness Experience
No trip to Solage is complete without a visit to the spa. Their Signature Hydrafacial cleanses, hydrates, and moisturizes the skin, providing instant results.
Early-Afternoon | Fashion, Flavor, & Local Charm
Discover downtown St. Helena’s shops and galleries, from Patina’s vintage jewelry to Elyse Walker’s fashion, then fuel up at Ray Ray’s Tacos, Model Bakery, or Sam’s General Store.
Mid-Afternoon | Poolside Perfection
Boasting stunning views of the Mayacamas Mountains, Solage’s iconic pool is always buzzing. Enhance your poolside experience with one of their private cabanas.
Evening | Fireside Fare
Savor your final evening in wine country with an unforgettable dining experience at Solbar. Nestle fireside beneath a canopy of twinkling mulberry trees, savoring a glass of Cabernet from a nearby winery.
