Tucked in a secluded canyon amidst 157 acres of forested hills, Calistoga Ranch, An Auberge Resort, provides an idyllic setting for guests seeking an authentic and luxurious Napa Valley wine country experience. Here, nature blends seamlessly with architecture, creating a unique feeling of intimacy in the wilderness.

Named one of The World’s Top 100 Resorts by Robb Report in May 2014, Calistoga Ranch features 50 private resort lodges, each entrenched in its own private setting, with all the creature comforts of an exceptional home away from home.

For more than four decades, the elegant, world-class wines of Chalk Hill have provided a benchmark for Sonoma County, California. The exceptionally beautiful estate is carved into the hills atop the Russian River Valley, just over the ridge from Alexander Valley, and provides a compelling tapestry of soil types, sun exposure, and microclimates that yield wines of exceptional note.

Led by Winemaker Lisa Bishop Forbes, the winemaking team at Chalk Hill practices a light-handed, noninvasive philosophy to emulate the essence of the vineyard in each bottle of wine. This delicate touch yields vintage after vintage of acclaimed Burgundian-style Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Semillon, along with a luscious red blend, Estate Red.
