Meadowood Napa Valley spreads across a 250-acre estate near St Helena, unfolding from mountain ridges through wooded canyons and vineyards to the edge of the Napa River, a gathering place, private club and intimate country hotel established in 1961. Accommodation runs across lodges and cottages, from Hill House and Treeline suites to Treetop, Cottage and Oakview rooms, tucked into the woods. Dining includes the Forum and the Terrace Cafe, celebrating local bounty and the valley’s agricultural heritage with produce from on-site gardens. There is a spa, a three-pool swimming complex, five outdoor tennis courts with pros on call and a fitness centre, alongside the Wine Center for immersion into terroir and winemaking, and miles of hiking. A member and Relais & Chateaux partner, with Forbes Five-Star ratings and three Michelin Keys, it suits multigenerational families and wine enthusiasts who want a refined, private country-club estate with tennis, spa and wine.
