Auberge du Soleil, Napa Valley’s quintessential adult getaway, is partnering with ERDA, Napa’s ultra-premium organic tea farm, to provide a signature wellness tea blend available exclusively for guests of the award-winning Auberge du Soleil Spa. Selected for their cleansing and clarity-promoting properties, the blend features lemon verbena and spearmint. The Auberge du Soleil + ERDA Spa Tea is now being served at the conclusion of all spa services to enhance the wellness benefits of each treatment in conjunction with the restorative culture of tea while guests linger and relax in the spa’s tranquil, picturesque setting.

Founded by acclaimed Napa Valley viticulturist and vintner, Annie Favia-Erickson, ERDA’s tea garden is located on the property of Favia Wines in the neighboring bucolic Coombsville winegrowing region. The company adopts the same meticulous approach to tea farming as their hand-crafted winemaking – whole tea leaves and flowers are hand-picked then immediately stored in a temperature controlled drying room to preserve natural oils and freshness and deliver bright, clean flavors when brewed. “We have such an appreciation for the intrinsic commitment to quality and craftsmanship that is the foundation of ERDA and their teas,” said George Goeggel, Managing Partner at Auberge du Soleil. “We are both deeply-rooted in Napa Valley and share the common goal of delivering exceptional services and products to our guests and customers. The addition of ERDA’s custom blended tea truly elevates our spa experience and allows us to offer a taste of something very special and beneficial that is only available at the Auberge du Soleil Spa.”

“As someone whose heart has always been in Napa Valley, I am thrilled to work with Auberge du Soleil to create a custom, multisensory experience involving ERDA tea at the Spa,” said Favia-Erickson. “We are so pleased to introduce the Auberge du Soleil + ERDA Spa Blend knowing guests will truly enjoy our tea as part of a mindful ritual served in one of the most picturesque, tranquil settings in wine country.”

The Auberge du Soleil Spa utilizes ingredients sourced from the destination’s indigenous vineyards, olive groves and gardens to inspire its indulgent treatment offerings. Incorporating the natural beauty of its surroundings set within a hillside olive grove the facility’s focal design features a courtyard reflecting pool anchored by heritage olive trees and three French-inspired stone basin fountains aligned with the top of Mount Veeder in the distance. Three temperate soaking pools (cool, warm and hot) overlook spectacular valley views while flanking treatment rooms include indoor/outdoor elements that emit tranquility and encourage guests to reconnect with themselves and nature. The Auberge du Soleil Spa offers a full range of restorative services including massage, body treatments, facials and couples experiences.

Inspired by the relaxed sophistication of the South of France and infused with California soul, Auberge du Soleil features wine country’s most luxurious accommodations, spectacular valley views, a 13-time Michelin Star award-winning Restaurant, and the exclusive Auberge du Soleil Spa.
