Description: Auberge du Soleil Restaurant began in 1981 nestled on 33 acres overlooking the lush vines of the Napa Valley. The cuisine has evolved with a wine country theme where innovative menus inspired by the bounty of the vine are paired with food in ways that delight and inspire longtime devotees. The Bistro & Bar is ideal for sipping wine at sunset on the terrace, a casual meal al fresco, or a nightcap by the fireplace. The Restaurant presents luxury at its finest while overlooking some of Napa's most renowned vineyards. Offering more that 40 of the Valley’s finest wines by the glass and boasting a cellar of nearly 17,000 wines, our guests can enjoy a full sensory experience of the California wine country. Summer Dinner reservations available online 5:30-6:00 and 8:00-9:00 PM. All online reservations between May 1-Oct 31 are confirmed outside on the terrace, weather permitting. *Please review the OpenTable confirmation email for important details regarding your reservation*

The patio offers a breathtaking view of Napa Valley and the breakfast is fast and delicious. Dined here twice, and both times the meal was perfect!

The second you set foot on this property you are automatically drowned to this spectacular view of the valley. Not the be out done though, is the great wine selection they have. We personally loved their house cabernet. Definitely worth the stop even just to look at the view!

We arrived very late for our reservation (as our driver had gotten ridiculously lost – that’s another review) but the restaurant was very accommodating in still seating us outside. They even provided a complimentary glass of wine to help soothe our anxiety. The service was excellent – helpful in recommendations, efficient and friendly. We thought the food was quite good...

Set up in the hills of Napa a treat awaits. Away from the hustle and bustle of the freeway another view of Napa. Drive an hour before sunset and whisk yourself into the world of being pampered for dinner, with an essence of pure enjoyment. Outstanding foods served on the patio or in the elegant restaurant. Napa has to be... More

We had an excellent experience at Aubege du Soleil for lunch earlier this week. The service was impeccable, the food was better than expected and the view was tremendous. We had risotto with wild mushrooms and hopper shrimp over biib lettuce for appetizers, we had halibut and seared ahi tuna for main meal. We enjoyed everything, it was a great... More

Very fresh ingredients and excellent food seem almost average in northern California. The restaurant at Auberge du Soleil puts food and wine together very nicely with a great view. On Sunday noon, the service is knowledgeable and friendly but did get slightly overwhelmed by the number of diners This is very much worth a stop.

Other than one of the most outstanding views from the terrace, our 3rd visit to Auberge was a complete and total disappointment. Our waitress acted as if we we weren't there. If it were not for her support staff, the bus boys and runners, we would have thought we had been forgotten. When finally , after a very long wait... More
