The Meritage Resort and Spa in California’s wine country has unveiled its $25 million USD renovation and expansion.
This week the Napa Valley resort presented 322 transformed guestrooms alongside its existing luxurious 145 guestrooms and suites; a new lobby and expanded bar area; refreshed ballrooms, pre-function and meeting rooms; an updated bowling lounge; a reimaged café and grab-and-go outlet; and a new premier steakhouse and champagne lounge.
In the adjacent vineyard, The Meritage has added a new chef’s vegetable and herb garden, a dining terrace for al fresco dining in the vines, and brand-new coop for the resident chickens.
“Recognizing the property’s heritage as an iconic community staple in Napa Valley over the last two decades, we are thrilled to usher in a new era of The Meritage with a fresh vision that preserves the soul of a resort that people know and love,” said Joe Leinacker, the property’s managing director. “Our goal is to capture the spirit of the vines that so often attract people to the region while redesigning the overall resort experience to appeal to the discerning traveler with a passion for places that provide a well-balanced mix of natural beauty, restfulness, adventure and togetherness to draw them back time and again.”
The resort is also home to multiple on-site tasting rooms, a locally sourced artisanal market, and a state-of-the-art food and wine center all housed in an eclectic village that frames the Grand Lawn.
The campus also features six elevated dining options, a six-lane bowling lounge, two relaxing pools and wellness centers, and the 22,000-square-foot Spa Terra, which is in an Estate Cave beneath the property’s own Trinitas vineyard.
Offering a combined 80,000 square feet of venue space, The Meritage is home to the region’s largest indoor ballroom.
The most recent transformation caps off a series of renovations that begun in 2022 with the redesign of the Meritage and Carneros ballrooms.
