"At the Solage, a 25-acre resort deep in wine country, a good glass of red—and a low-key kind of luxury—is just a grape’s throw away. The resort’s low sight lines—made possible by contemporary-cool cottages, etched out in white wood—are just a picket fence shy of perfection, allowing for unblemished vistas of the rolling hills. Rooms come king- and double queen-sized and receive complimentary cruiser bikes for exploring the area, but we’d opt for the Silverado Suite with its vaulted ceilings, a private patio hot tub, and pebble-floored steam shower. The Mud Bar at the 20,000-square-foot Spa Solage offers a modern take on the traditional Calistoga mud bath, catered to your taste with a choice of essential oils—and offers the restorative healing powers of nearby geo-thermal springs. Solbar, the Michelin-starred indoor/outdoor bistro, has a seasonal menu that combines healthy options with comfort food—crispy liberty duck confit with sweet potatoes and cashew butter, or lemon-steamed Alaskan halibut with fava beans and stinging nettle pesto."
