Auberge du Soleil

Auberge du Soleil sits on Rutherford Hill Road, overlooking the valley floor. It is a five-minute drive from the Robert Mondavi Winery and adjacent to the sprawling vines surrounding Opus One.

Most visitors to this part of the valley spend their days navigating the crowded tasting rooms below. This property works because it offers a total retreat from that routine. While the neighbours focus on high-volume cellar door traffic, the focus here remains on the stillness of the hillside. Choose this spot if you want to trade the valley's typical tour-bus bustle for a quiet vantage point above the vines.
