What Makes Meadowood Distinctive

Meadowood Napa Valley is the historic 1964 St. Helena luxury anchor — one of the original Napa wine-country luxury resorts that established the format later replicated across the Napa Valley AVA. The property sits on 250 acres of forested estate east of Silverado Trail, just east of St. Helena. The defining identity is "active luxury" — extensive on-property amenities for active engagement during a multi-day stay, vs the more dining-focused or spa-focused luxury formats elsewhere in the valley.

Active-luxury amenities

Golf: 9-hole course winding through the forested estate. Two par-4 holes are particularly scenic.

Tennis: 7 courts (mix of hard + clay) with on-property tennis pros.

Croquet: Regulation-grade croquet lawn (rare in US luxury resorts). The Meadowood Croquet Club hosts USCA-sanctioned tournaments.

Three swimming pools.

Hiking trails: Through the property's forested terrain.

Spa at Meadowood: Comprehensive spa treatments + wellness programs.

Dining + the 2020 Glass Fire context

Restaurant at Meadowood (closed 2020): Held three Michelin stars 2011-2020 (Chef Christopher Kostow). The restaurant was destroyed in the September 2020 Glass Fire that severely damaged the property.

The Grill at Meadowood: The historic on-property casual restaurant continues to operate. Estate-grown produce + Napa Valley wine list.

Rebuilding context: Meadowood has been undergoing significant restoration since 2020. Some accommodations + structures have been rebuilt; the iconic Restaurant at Meadowood building has not yet been reimagined as a successor. Confirm current availability + facility status directly with Meadowood at booking.
