Auberge du Soleil sits on 33 olive- and oak-covered hillside acres above Rutherford with Michelin-starred dining, 50 residential-style rooms and suites, and sweeping valley views that stretch to the Mayacamas Mountains. The venue can accommodate up to 120 guests for your wedding celebration.
When Auberge du Soleil opened in 1981 — inspired by the sun-drenched hillside restaurants of Provence — it set a template for Napa luxury that the valley has been building toward ever since. Thirty-three acres of terraced groves cling to the eastern slope of the Vaca Mountains above Rutherford, and the 50 rooms and maisons are scattered across them in residential clusters that feel more like a private estate than a hotel.
The wedding experience here is underpinned by the same culinary ambition that earned the restaurant its Michelin Star: every menu is crafted with care, every detail of the ceremony and reception attended to by a team for whom hospitality is a vocation. Whether the ceremony takes place in the wisteria-draped Le Jardin — reserved for gatherings of up to 18 — or in the expansive Bellevue rooms with their bronze-framed floor-to-ceiling doors and unbroken valley views, the setting does the heavy lifting.
