"A sort of homey luxury is everywhere at this 250-acre Napa Valley gem. If you can, spring for the Estate Suite, with more than 2,000 square feet, indoor and outdoor showers, a fireplace, and an alfresco dining room looking out into the forest. There’s a golf course and croquet lawns, as well as exclusive access to some of the most exclusive wine country events—the Restaurant at Meadowood caters some of the best ones in the region—and even sensory evaluation classes. The Restaurant, a legendary three-Michelin-starred eatery, is reason enough to stay here. Led by Chef Christopher Kostow, guests can opt for a tasting menu or the evolving chef’s table experience, which is considered by many a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
