Rancho Caymus Inn rounds out our Rutherford picks for a reason that has nothing to do with scale: at 26 rooms, it is one of the smallest properties on this list, and one of the most considered. Salt heiress Mary...
We don't say this often, but Auberge du Soleil is the hotel every other Napa Valley resort is quietly measured against. Terraced into a 33-acre hillside olive grove above Rutherford, its Mediterranean-styled rooms and private maisons look out over the...
Vista Collina earns its spot on a technicality we're happy to exploit: it is one of the only resorts in Napa where guests can cook their own meals as well as eat someone else's. The Village at the heart of...

We selected Hotel Napa Valley for the quiet authority of its 1874 bones: stone floors, old-growth redwood beams and a handful of fireplaces that no new concrete-and-glass build downtown can fake. Three blocks from the tasting rooms and the river...
