In the know

Our favourite rooms
For a sampling of the hotel spa in your own room, the over-sized Luxury Room in the Main House has a full free-standing spa-therapy bath tub set beside the pillow-piled canopy bed. There’s also a honeymooners’ hideaway (Room 12) which is secluded from the other rooms and guests and has its own patio area amid the grassy gardens. Better still, it’s directly under the spa so you can go straight from soul-soothing to slumber (or seduction). Luxury Rooms 7 and 9 in the South building both have river views and private balconies – ideal for summer breakfasts.
Packing tips
Bring a car – Milliken Creek is delightfully out of the way, so to make the most of navigating Napa you’ll need your own wheels.
Also
Milliken’s exclusive spa uses all-natural, all-organic products made in Hungary and Hawaii to deliver a range of signature treatments, including aromatherapy, hot-stone massage and the incomparable grapeseed body polish.

Local restaurants

You’re close to a glut of Napa’s world-renowned eateries, but you’ll still need a car to ferry yourselves between them. If you want to sample the famed fare at Thomas Keller’s French Laundry (www.frenchlaundry.com), you’ll need to book a month or two in advance and be sure you have a deep wallet – the set menu starts at more than US$240 a head. Also needing advance notice, La Toque (www.latoque.com) in downtown Napa has an always-excellent menu of Valley victuals, featuring a wide , coupled with a carefully considered wine selection. Go Fish (www.gofishrestaurant.com) in St Helena is predictably seafood-centred, with a wide range of sushi and sake. Cole’s Chop House (www.coleschophouse.com) in Napa serves 21-day dry-aged steaks alongside a classic American cocktail menu. On the same street, Celadon (www.celadonnapa.co) has a friendly neighbourhood atmosphere, shabby-chic looks and a Mediterranean menu with real respect for its ingredients.

Worth getting out of bed for

The Napa Valley is the heartland of America’s wine production and there are close to 300 wineries to sip your way through – reservations are essential. Connoisseurs should head for Swanson (www.swansonvineyards.com) in the Oakville District; the exclusive Altamura winery (www.altamura.com) in Wooden Valley; or Kuleto Estate (www.kuletoestate.com) in St Helena. Aside from wining and dining, there’s no shortage of decadent diversions in Napa. Drift above the vineyards in a hot-air balloon (www.balloonrides.com), hire a bike and cycle around the region sampling the wines as you go – Getaway Adventures organises group tours (www.getawayadventures.com) – or enjoy the scenery on horseback (www.triplecreekhorseoutfit.com). For big-city thrills, San Francisco is an hour away.
