divider pattern

This week we are ‘traveling’ (virtually) to idyllic Napa Valley and the rolling, verdant hills of surrounding Yountville for a taste of Bardessono and Hotel Yountville! Our friends at Remington Hotels will walk us through these two lovely properties as we sip and enjoy during this happiest of hours.

Real-Time Retreats - Bardessono and Hotel Yountville, Napa Valley

We’re doing something different this week, lovelies, so no need to dip into your costume closet or order outfits from Amazon! This week, we want you to tell us about your favorite wine; share your tastes, tips and trials when it comes to your favorite vino. What’s your crowd pleaser? What’s your go-to for celebrations? Is organic wine your thing? And how about those ’Instagrammable’ charcuterie boards? How do you serve up a soirée? We’ll allow you to share your screen and tell your story in complete fashion! Kelly McAlister with Maui Jim will be the judge and jury for this week’s theme of ‘Wine, a lot!’

And remember, the first five at 3:55 to log into the call (no earlier than 3:55pm) will win a special gift.

Bardessono

Bardessono is a bold idea all its own in Napa Valley. In 2009, they set out to create a hotel and spa experience unlike any other, one that soothes and impresses, calms and renews. And so, you’ll find there the richest greens, the softest tones, the quietest sounds, the purist tastes and a subtle fragrance. You may even come to find an enhanced knowing of yourself, bring clarity to your life, walking their thoughtfully groomed gardens and being in the natural surroundings of Bardessono.

THE GOOD LIFE

Nestled in the heart of Yountville, California, they offer a mindful approach to living the good life. “Deep green” with luxury, a subtle aesthetic, privacy, and graciousness, is the Bardessono model. It’s genuine hospitality, borne of the enduring expressions of land and family, that fostered and sustained the original Bardessono family farmstead in Napa County.

ZEN AGAIN, IT’S FABULOUS.

Find your quiet – your place of rest – where comfort and convenience come together in an understated elegance. Surround yourself with natural tones and earthy elements in the heart of Napa Valley’s wine country. Sustainable design includes light-filled spaces, custom furnishings, organic cotton bed linens, and hand-crafted bath products. Each suite is pet-friendly & adorned with commissioned art photography. Their Spa Butler is always ready to prepare your space with candle light and music for your in-room massage.

For those seeking the ultimate in exclusivity, The Maple Grove Villas provide an exquisite escape filled with elite experiences. These stately accommodations, each one featuring private cocktail pool, docent service and awe-inspiring floor-to-ceiling glass windows, are available as three standalone Villas or one three-bedroom retreat.

WINE, DARLINGS. WINE A LOT.

Ingredients

Wine of your choice, red, white, sparkling or straight out of the box.

Method

  • 1. Turn on some enjoyable music - we like this groove from Ibiza called Chillout Lounge.
  • 2. Call the neighbors and ask them to invite your kids over for dinner. You’ll reciprocate next week. (Or not.)
  • 3. Slippers and yoga pants are great wine-drinking apparel.
  • 4. Get as chilled as that Sauvignon Blanc waiting in your fridge. Pop open that bottle and smile.
AM coffee, PM wine
It's funny how 8 glasses of water a day seems impossible, but 8 glasses of wine can be done in one meal.
