Just concluding an extensive renovation, Solage is a fresh and modern take on wine country sophistication. Thousands of square feet of outdoor and indoor space allow you to host events without repetition.

Add to that extensive spa services (they’ll even come to your private studio!), bocce courts, new restaurant, Picobar, pristine pool and Solbar, this property is truly incredible. Solage prides itself on a personalized approach and experience for every guest - and we couldn’t agree more.
