Meadowood News & Surprises

During the wintertime our thoughts are of short days and chilly temperatures...both of which are best remedied by small luxuries, including a cozy fire, a good book, a better bottle of wine and someone to curl up next to. We invite you to visit this winter when you can start your day with breakfast in bed in front of a roaring fire. Rested and dressed, you may choose to venture out mid-day to visit a few favorite wineries then end the day with a romantic dinner in The Restaurant at Meadowood or fireside in your guest room where the day began.

Worried about rain?

Don't be! It's nice to sleep to the sound of rain falling in the forest.

Besides, if it does rain during your stay, we have a surprise for you

. Curious? Call (707) 968-3153 and ask about a Meadowood Rain Check.

Meadowood is a center of social, cultural and viticultural life in Napa Valley and a second home for those who enjoy the beauty and hospitality of the wine country. The property features championship croquet lawns, seven tennis courts, a nine-hole walking golf course, hiking trails, swimming, a full-service health spa, a wine educator, guest rooms, suites and cottages. The epitome of fine dining in a romantic, casually elegant setting, The Restaurant at Meadowood, under the culinary direction of Chef Christopher Kostow, has garnered two-stars from the esteemed Michelin Guide and four stars from the San Francisco Chronicle.

Forty-Five Years of Tradition

In 1979 H. William Harlan was searching for land on which to create a wine estate when he was introduced to Meadowood, which had been founded in 1964 as a private country club. Home to a casual restaurant, swimming pool, tennis courts and nine-hole golf course, the property wasn't ideally suited to grapegrowing. Mr. Harlan, however, was intrigued and called his partners to share the news of the hidden gem. Within twenty-four hours the partners owned the estate and began planning its future not only as a gathering place for the burgeoning local winegrowing community, but as a luxury destination for discerning travelers from around the world seeking an authentically Napa Valley experience. With the addition to the property of a collection of guest rooms and suites, Meadowood was soon invited to join the exclusive ranks of Relais & Chateaux.

And what of the wine estate? Mr. Harlan did find the perfect setting on an Oakville hillside and established Harlan Estate. The hillside is now also home to BOND. Read More about this story Here.

In 2001 the Meadowood partners acquired the land at the entrance to Meadowood along historic Silverado Trail and founded The Napa Valley Reserve, a private club offering its members the opportunity to experience and enjoy the way of life that surrounds the production of wine.

For the last thirty years, Meadowood has served as the preeminent wine country destination for discerning travelers to the region. With timeless architecture, diverse amenities and activities, and a professional staff that includes a tennis professional, golf professional, croquet professional, a master sommelier working as the director of wine education, a restaurant sommelier, a Two Star Michelin Chef Christopher Kostow and cultural affairs director, among others, the experience on the estate has continued to evolve with Napa Valley itself.

Today, Meadowood expresses the authenticity of country life and brings guests and members closer to the timeless traditions of the region. The property continues to serve as the common ground for the Napa Valley Vintners as well as an integral part of the cultural and social fabric of the community.
