The private Napa restaurant celebrates the rich culture of local wines and cuisine, making use of the lush bounty of the region. For those seeking rejuvenation, it can be found at The Spa, where guests can indulge in tantalizing Napa spa treatments and take advantage of the region's natural healing mineral waters.
