Overview

Home to multiple dining venues and an underground wine cellar

Some past guests were disappointed with their accommodations

Past guests particularly praise The Meritage Resort and Spa’s Crush Lounge, where guests can relish a drink while enjoying a game of bowling, shuffleboard or billiards. In fact, the array of on-site amenities almost overshadow the resort’s excellent location in Napa Valley, about 5 miles south of downtown Napa and slightly more than 3 miles from the Napa County Airport. The property boasts a smorgasbord of additional eateries, which range from Siena, a luxury restaurant with Californian- and Tuscan-inspired flavors, to The Village, a curated mix of wine tasting, grocery store, culinary classroom and event area. Not to mention Spa Terra, an actual wine cave where guests can enjoy a sip of their favorite grape-based beverage after candlelight yoga or a spa day. But keep in mind that some recent visitors warn the accommodations, which come standard with luxurious perks stone bathrooms and complimentary Wi-Fi access, don’t justify their cost.
