Meadowood Resort Review

A rambling lodge and several gray clapboard bungalows are scattered across this sprawling property, giving it an exclusive New England feel, and every unit runs seamlessly—starting with the gatehouse staff who alert the front desk to arrivals. Guest rooms have views over these wooded grounds from expansive windows. The supremely comfortable beds defy you to get up and pursue the golf, tennis, hiking, croquet, or other activities on offer. In recent years the elegant but unstuffy dining room has won rave reviews, becoming a destination restaurant.

In the heart of the Napa Valley, chef Christopher Kostow commands the kitchen at the Restaurant at Meadowood, where California cuisine is presented at its best. The emphasis here is on seasonal, sustainable, and local ingredients. Dishes in the set menus are intended to highlight the natural beauty and bursting-forth flavors of their ingredients.

    From the moment I drive through grapefields and pass through the guarded entrygate, I feel like a princess returning home to my castle. The rooms at Meadowood are woodsy and wonderful. Attention to detail is what makes this resort one of the top in the country. I don't ever feel like leaving. The grounds are immaculate, the gym small, yet complete and the service, sublime. I enjoy the afternoon wine and cheese, after all, I am in WINE country. Treat yourself, indulge and enjoy!! Worth every penny!!
