The Meritage Resort and Spa

The Meritage Resort and Spa in Napa, CA was the absolute perfect location for our wedding!! When we first visited the site, we were extremely impressed with the multiple locations available for our special day. We picked the "Vineyard Deck" for the ceremony and the "Estate Cave" for the reception, and both were absolutely stunning!! Not only are their event sites amazing, but they provide so many of the necessary items (tables, chairs, linens, glass and silverware) and they also provide all in-house catering with exceptional menu choices for all types of food and beverage needs. Having those items available in-house made planning so much easier.....and the food was superb! Many of our guests commented on how excellent the food was, and one of our guests said "it was the best food she had ever had at a wedding!" And, matching the exceptional location for our wedding, was the Meritage's staff of coordinators, chefs, servers, bartenders, setup crew and so many more whose professionalism, attention to detail, skill, knowledge and communication far exceeded our expectations. And, on top of all that, the site is a beautiful resort with amazing rooms, restaurants, and a spa that will give any of your out-of-town guests a very convenient choice with some of the most amazing amenities available that will provide them with plenty of things to do before and after your wedding, should they decide to turn the trip into a little getaway! Honestly, there is not one negative that I can think of, and while my fiancee and I getting married was going to be amazing, no matter what....the Meritage was a huge part of what took it to a level beyond our imagination!! We are beyond grateful that we picked the Meritage's beautiful venue as the location to start our life together as husband and wife!! Based on our experience, if you pick them to host your special day, it will be as magical as possible!!

We had the literal best, most special & perfect wedding weekend at The Meritage!!! I truly couldn’t be happier we decided to host our wedding at this beautiful property. Our rehearsal dinner took place in the Estate Cave, and reception was in the Carneros Ballroom. From the many delicious restaurants available on-site to the two nice pools you can choose from, all of our guests have not stopped raving about how incredible of a resort this is. Would highly recommend checking out The Meritage to any bride who wants an incredible wedding experience!!

The venue was amazing for a wedding. We had the wedding reception of our dreams in the Meritage Cave and highly recommend this resort to celebrate any milestone

"The Meritage Resort and Spa was a wonderful venue for our destination wedding. The fact that Meritage Resort is located in Napa Valley, in the heart of wine country, makes it an ideal setting for a romantic wedding. Meritage blends a style of classic charm with a modern appeal. The Resort offers a plethora of amenities, including luxurious guest rooms, two pools, an onsite restaurant, a bowling alley/lounge, and most uniquely, the estate cave and spa. We absolutely loved getting married on the vineyard deck, which is a hill on top of the estate cave overlooking a spectacular view of wine county. We had our dinner and reception in the estate cave, which provided a truly unique and unforgettable experience for us and our guests. Every one of our guests were incredibly impressed by the spectacular beauty of the venue and the quality of the services provided by the Meritage staff. All of the Resort staff were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. In particular, Event Services Manager, Desiree Thronton, did a superb job! She was kind and very attentive to the needs of my Wife and myself. She thoroughly responded to all our questions and worked hard to address every issue that we had to ensure our wedding day was a success. She particularly did a very good job of attending to our guest's needs and took great effort to make sure they were well accommodated. Desiree's professionalism and hard work helped make our wedding experience wonderful. We would absolutely recommend Meritage Resort and Spa to anyone planning to be married in California

We got married here on March 30, 2024. The Meritage Resort and Spa was a perfect venue for my wedding, as most of our guests were international guests flying in. The resort was the ideal place to leave a great first impression of Napa Valley for my guests! The Meritage Team was extremely cooperative, accommodating, and professional when it came to all matters. We thank Rose Meyers for being such a professional and wonderful manager for our big day. We had a few changes at the last minute due to the weather, but everyone handled it so well, and it was seamless and perfect on the day! The guests loved the venue, food, and accommodation. I highly recommend Meritage for anyone looking to have a top-notch wedding!

The Meritage Resort and Spa was our dream venue from the moment we visited! We fell in love with the gorgeous property set in beautiful Napa. Throughout the entire event, all of our guests felt the warmth and hospitality of the staff. As the couple, we were especially grateful for last minute accommodations to the our backup indoor venue. We can't wait to visit for our anniversary!! We will cherish this weekend with Meritage forever. Huge thanks to Rose Meyers and her team for pulling it all together.

I am a wedding planner and I get to see venues all the time with my clients. By far, this one of my favorites! Not only do you have everything you need under one space; cave, vines, outdoor, indoor and amazing catering, but you also have the professionalism of the team, flexibility in allowing you to have the day of your dreams and undoubtedly amazing quality in everything that is shown and served to you and your guests. The Meritage is one of my favorite venues to show my clients because they fall in love with it immediately. This is a venue that you come to if you want a dream wedding!

The Meritage Resort and Spa was nothing sort of a fairytale! Elisse was wonderful and so very helpful! She stayed in constant contact with us during this COVID year! The food was delicious and the staff were so kind and helpful! I could not recommend a more beautiful helpful stress-free place to get married at!

Having a destination wedding can be tricky, but having Andrea, our event manager, was like having a sister in my destination location. She was my go-to girl and she exceeded any expectations with my continuous flow of emails. Andrea could not have been any sweeter, kinder and more patient along the whole process. To be honest, it was hard to say goodbye at the end, as silly as that may sound. Having her and her team, gave me peace of mind, which is priceless. Any bride going through this crazy process is not only in great hands, but the best hands at The Meritage. We had a 50 person wedding. The ceremony was on the vineyard deck and the reception was in the cave. To say both locations blew guests away is an understatement. My special day was magical and it went off without a hitch. Thank you Andrea and the whole Meritage team! You have a home and a Cuban family in Miami waiting for you!

The Meritage is an excellent choice for a wedding venue, we couldn't have asked for a better setting or service.

Coordination for our first tour, to booking, to all final details was amazing. Our coordinator, Andrea, was quick to respond and always one step ahead of what we needed to think about. She made the day absolutely flawless - we had the easiest, most relaxing morning on the day of the wedding because we knew she was taking care of everything.

The ceremony was picture perfect and set up just how we requested - it's so naturally beautiful that we used minimal floral decorations and it was stunning. Cocktail hour was set in the fountain courtyard and creatively blocked off from walk-through guest traffic. The bar staff was quick and there was hardly a line (we do recommend getting the extra bar tender!). The staff brought up trays of hors d'oeuvres and champagne for us and the bridal party after the ceremony, but we were whisked away in the shuttle and weren't able to have them. By the time we got to cocktail hour, they were done passing more but our guests said they were amazing. The reception flowed very well - the food was brought out quickly so guests didn't have to wait and the bar was reviewed to make superb cocktails.

We highly recommend booking the Meritage - it was perfect for us as the couple being married, but our guests very much enjoyed the surroundings as well as the day! Thank you to Andrea and the rest of the team for all of their hard work, it truly was a flawless day.
