Best Napa Valley Hotels for a Romantic Getaway

It’s always a good time to go to Wine Country, but winter can be truly special. There are fewer crowds, quieter vineyards, and colder temps, making it the ideal season to cozy up in luxury with that special someone and sip on world-class wines. So whether you’re looking for a chic, downtown boutique hotel, a sprawling vineyard estate, or sumptuous spa treatments on property, we’ve rounded up the top Napa Valley hotels for your next romantic Wine Country getaway.

Each cottage features a private front porch and a backyard garden with a sundeck, table and chairs, fire pit, and chaise lounge. Get lost in each other’s company in front of the fire, or shower under the sun or stars in a privately enclosed outdoor shower. When venturing out of your room, you’ll find two luxurious pools, a spa, several restaurants, and a market — everything needed for a romantic stay in Wine Country.

Framed by vineyards and bike trails, with underground, geothermal hot springs of mineral water, Calistoga has a renowned history as a place of healing. It’s here where you’ll find the Calistoga Motor Lodge, which was inspired by the Great American Road trip. If you ever dreamed of a romantic cross-country stay with your partner (but you want to do it in luxury and stay within a stone’s throw of renowned wineries and restaurants), a weekend in one of these design-centric, camper inspired rooms might be just the ticket. The on-property spa, The MoonAcre Spa and Baths, is likewise a soothing and beautiful place to wash the dust off your feet. Modeled after a classic bathhouse, it offers updated and quirky spins on mineral treatments and therapies from around the world. Choose from a range of specialty treatments starring Calistoga’s famed mineral water, or rub each other down in Green French Clay and retreat to the private steam room to detoxify from all the wine tastings you’ve done on your trip.
