The Carneros Resort and Spa - formerly The Carneros Inn - is a 27-acre luxury cottage resort in the Carneros region of the Napa Valley, managed by the PlumpJack Group (the San Francisco hospitality group founded by Gavin Newsom). It offers 86 freestanding cottages plus suites and homes designed in an agrarian Napa style, the Hilltop pool with panoramic vineyard views, a spa, and the FARM restaurant. It deepens AC's Napa Valley wine-country cluster alongside Stanly Ranch - the other Carneros resort, just minutes away - plus Four Seasons Napa Valley, Auberge du Soleil, and Solage Calistoga. As the relaxed cottage-and-pool option in southern Napa nearest the Bay, it is an easy chauffeur run, and AC chauffeurs guests from the airport to the resort and through the wineries with a Black SUV waiting through the day.
Accommodations are freestanding cottages - 86 of them, plus suites and homes - inspired by the local agrarian countryside, each with a fireplace, an outdoor shower, heated slate bathroom floors, and a private patio and garden where vineyard breezes drift through. There are two pools: the Hilltop pool with sweeping views of hills and vineyards, and Otto's pool for lap swimming. The resort has a spa, a small town center, and three restaurants led by FARM, the signature farm-to-table dining room, plus the Boon Fly Cafe and the Hilltop. Spread across 27 acres in the Carneros hills, it is a private, low-rise, design-forward retreat rather than a hotel tower - and AC provides discreet arrivals, departures, and on-call chauffeur service for winery days and dinners.
The resort sits in Carneros, the cool-climate, Pinot-and-Chardonnay-and-sparkling region straddling southern Napa and Sonoma. The Carneros wineries - Domaine Carneros, Artesa, Cuvaison, and di Rosa's art preserve - are minutes away, and downtown Napa with the Oxbow Public Market and the Napa Valley Wine Train is a short drive north. The valley unfolds up Highway 29 and the Silverado Trail to Yountville (and The French Laundry), St. Helena, and Calistoga, and the town of Sonoma and its plaza are minutes west. AC builds a Carneros and Napa Valley winery tour from the resort, with the chauffeur handling the rural roads so guests can taste freely, and pairs it with AC's other Napa anchors for a multi-night stay.
SFO San Francisco is about 1 hour southwest and is the main gateway, with the Carneros resort being the Napa property nearest the Bay. OAK Oakland is about 50 minutes and STS Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport about 40 minutes to the northwest. The Napa County Airport (APC) is about 15 minutes for general aviation and private jets, and SMF Sacramento is about 1 hour to the east. From farther afield, AC chauffeurs the drive so guests arrive rested. The Carneros Resort pairs with AC's Stanly Ranch, Four Seasons Napa Valley, Auberge du Soleil, and Solage Calistoga for a Napa Valley wine tour, and AC positions vehicles at SFO, OAK, and Napa County for Carneros and the valley.
