"The veritable heart of Napa for over 60 years, Meadowood feels authentically singular to the region with 36 guest rooms and suites (chic barn–inspired design by Howard Bracken), an impressive wine center, and a spa that should not be missed: low-lit, warm, and integrated with the resort’s aesthetic. Cottages and suites have private porches and cozy amenities (fireplaces, soaking tubs), dining leans seasonally and locally sourced (the Terrace Café is alfresco and guest-only, and the all-day Forum serves excellent, seasonally inspired fare like ceviche-and-quinoa bowls), and the staff are warm, knowledgeable, and high quality without being fussy. The property also emphasizes environmental stewardship—using drought-tolerant landscaping, grazing sheep and goats, and post-fire reforestation efforts that included planting 2,300 trees." - Jessica Sulima
