If a Wine Country wedding has ever crossed your mind, allow us to point you toward one of Napa Valley’s most swoon-worthy destinations: Solage Calistoga. Nestled at the north end of the Silverado Trail, this contemporary-meets-rustic resort is where modern luxury dances with laid-back California charm and it’s home to Napa Valley’s largest event venue.
Whether you’re dreaming up an intimate micro-wedding or a full-scale soirée, Solage offers a serene, stylish setting that effortlessly sets the tone for a weekend to remember.
Why We Love It
From the moment you arrive, Solage wraps you in a sense of peaceful sophistication. Just steps from downtown Calistoga yet tucked into a private 22-acre oasis, this Auberge Resorts Collection property is as polished as it is grounded. Picture weathered wood architecture, outdoor firepits glowing beneath twinkling market lights, and a backdrop of rolling vineyards and Mayacamas mountain peaks. The vibe? Effortlessly elegant, with a hint of wine country whimsy.
What sealed the deal for us? The amenities are unmatched. A Michelin Star-rated restaurant (yes, that Solbar), the renowned Spa Solage, and customizable wedding packages that prioritize personalization at every turn. Add to that a setting drenched in golden light and you’ve got all the makings of a Wine Country fairytale.
Make It Your Own
Solage Calistoga leans into the belief that no two weddings should ever feel the same. That’s why we’re especially obsessed with their All About You wedding and couple’s experiences. Here’s how to make the most of them:
Design Your Dream Menu
You’ll work with Executive Chef Gustavo Rios (who carries on the legacy of former Michelin-starred chef Brandon Sharp) to create a fully customized wedding menu. Their playful “He Said, She Said” tasting experience invites couples to blend their favorite flavors into a menu that’s as unique as your love story. Seasonal ingredients, bold flavors, and thoughtful wine pairings are all on the table— literally.
A First Night to Remember
After your celebration, retreat to your private studio or suite, where “Mr. & Mrs.” embroidered pillowcases and a chilled bottle of Unity wine from nearby Fisher Vineyards await. It’s an effortlessly romantic touch that speaks to Solage’s signature attention to detail.
Cruise Into Forever
Kick off newlywed life with a spin on the complimentary “Just Married” cruiser bikes. Pedal through the lush property or into downtown Calistoga for morning coffee or a leisurely wine tasting.
The Accommodations
Solage offers a mix of breezy studios and spacious one-bedroom suites, each one designed with natural textures, luxurious linens, and open-air patios for soaking in the serene surroundings. We love that each room feels like a mini sanctuary— but with cruiser bikes parked out front and the spa just steps away, you’re never too far from the action.
Private outdoor showers, soaking tubs, fire pits, and cozy interiors lend a sense of intimacy, while the resort’s tranquil pools and garden paths give guests the freedom to unwind in whatever way they choose.
Spa Solage: The Pre-Wedding Reset
Planning a wedding can be… a lot. Luckily, Spa Solage is here to melt your stress away. From signature mudslides (their take on the region’s famous mineral mud therapy) to couples massages and skin-glowing facials, you can easily turn your wedding prep into a full-on wellness retreat. And yes, your bridal party will thank you.
The Verdict
Whether you’re saying “I do” or simply looking for a place to celebrate your love, Solage Calistoga is the perfect blend of nature, nurture, and Napa Valley magic. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, reconnected, and maybe just a little more in love.
