Napa Valley, where vineyards sprawl like a patchwork quilt and the air is infused with the sweet scent of aged wines. Amidst this already historic stretch, a new experience has emerged. Stanly Ranch, Auberge Resorts Collection, a sprawling 700-acre retreat, beckons all to come close, offering an exquisite blend of luxury, adventure, and rejuvenation.

A part of the Auberge Resorts Collection, Stanly Ranch opened with 135 cottage-inspired rooms, back in April 2022. But the ranch’s history stretches all the way back to the 1850s. It was founded by Judge Edward Stanly — hence the name — as a fully functioning farm. Fast forward to now and the function is a little different, but the heart is the same. The robust residential program consists of 40 villas (all two bedrooms) and 70 vineyard homes (three to six bedrooms), all with multimillion-dollar price tags. But more on those in a minute, let’s look at what the resort has to offer.

Dining at Stanly Ranch is not just a meal; it’s a culinary odyssey that tantalizes the taste buds and challenges the ordinary. Bear is the keystone of Stanly Ranch’s culinary offering, serving to connect creation with consumption. Low-key mornings on the terrace, give way to a buzzy lunch. Dinner is an affable experience highlighting the ingredients of Napa Valley. Stanly Ranch is now the closest Wine Country resort to San Francisco, making it an easily accessible haven for those craving a taste of the extraordinary without the hassle of a long journey.

Stanly Ranch is not just views and food. Enter Halehouse, a testament to the resort’s commitment to well-being. Halehouse is the next-generation wellbeing destination, going beyond the conventional spa experience. Offering customized programs and targeted treatments designed by leading health specialists and sports experts, tailored for both performance and restoration. It’s not just a spa; it’s a lifestyle transformation waiting to happen. With Stanly Ranch, Auberge has masterfully ticked all three boxes, creating an unparalleled experience that captivates the senses in bold strokes.

The resort is a dreamscape with cottages sprawled across 700 acres of gorgeous vineyards. The spa, Halehouse, takes center stage with a jaw-droppingly gorgeous pool and a range of recovery offerings, including an oxygen chamber, tepidarium, salt room, and sauna, all with breathtaking vineyard views. This is not just a place to stay; it’s a destination where luxury knows no bounds.

Explore the myriad activities at Stanly Ranch, transcending the traditional spa experience. From a tour of the Grange with the charismatic Farm Director Nick Runkle to a falconry display and the opportunity to drive top sports cars at the Silverado Trail, the resort offers a tapestry of experiences that cater to every indulgence.

The resort has seamlessly transformed into a mecca for wellness aficionados, where The Hollywood Reporter highlights Halehouse as a personal restoration compound offering everything from massages and cryo-facials to a circuit program with a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, salt therapy, and a cold plunge bath.

Let’s not forget about The Villas. Prices for the two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath homes start at $4 million. These elegant oasis residences come completely furnished, designed by Janice Clausen. Every room is fitted with white oak flooring, leather upholstery, stone fireplaces, and linen-accented walls. 

The Sky Villas measure around 2,500 square feet, whereas the Terrace Villas measure roughly 3,100 square feet. In both versions, the single-level homes are decked out with custom-designed chef’s kitchens, wood-clad ceilings, and open living spaces. It’s the epitome of low-key elegance you’d expect in northern California‘s wine country. Residences are exclusively sold by Compass.
