We passed mustard blooms and rows and rows of vineyards before\u00a0turning into a sunlit olive grove on the slopes of Rutherford Hill for brunch in Napa Valley at Auberge du Soleil. Auberge du Soleil, the luxury resort on the eastern verge of the Napa Valley. is home to Michelin-starred restaurant of the same name. It is a Napa Valley icon since thirty-five years ago when the valley was mostly farmland, and Michelin Star restaurants were reserved for European destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

French restaurateur Claude Rouas and business partner Bob Harmon opened the Napa\u2019s first fine-dining restaurant. They then followed it with a casual yet elegant inn reminiscent of Provence and Auberge du Soleil<\/strong> was born. Today, the full-service Napa luxury resort is as fresh and forward-thinking as when it first opened. \u00a0To stay at this Mediterranean inspired resort you would have to be over 16 years and have pretty deep pockets, so we opted for brunch at their Restaurant instead – the views were magnificent and the wine country experience unforgettable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
