The moment many wine lovers and points collectors have been waiting for has arrived: a newly opened wine resort in Napa Valley is now bookable with Hilton Honors points. Nestled among vineyards and tasting rooms, this resort blends luxury hospitality with easy access to the region’s best wineries. For travelers who prefer to redeem loyalty currency over cash, this change could reshape Napa trips this year.
What the new Napa wine resort offers
The property sits on rolling hills near downtown St. Helena. Guests find vineyard views from most rooms. On-site tasting rooms and a boutique winery create a convenient wine-country experience. The resort also offers a heated pool, spa treatments, and a farm-to-table restaurant.

How to book using Hilton Honors points
Hilton has added the resort to its Honors platform. Members can search dates and select awards like any other Hilton property. Availability varies by season and special events in Napa.
- Log in to your Hilton Honors account.
- Search for the resort by name or location in Napa Valley.
- Choose “Use Points” to view award night prices.
- Confirm booking and pay any taxes or fees that apply.
Tip: Flexible dates often reveal lower point rates. Midweek stays can be cheaper than weekend nights.
Typical points rates and value
Award night prices change with demand. Early availability shows a range from moderate to premium rates. Expect higher point costs during harvest months and holiday weekends.
Estimated redemption examples
- Off-peak weekday room: lower tier award (estimate: 40,000–60,000 points).
- Peak weekend suite: premium award (estimate: 80,000–120,000 points).
- Special packages: points + cash options may be available.
Value note: Calculate the cents-per-point by dividing the room cash rate by the points cost. That helps you decide whether points or cash is the better choice.
Experiences and wine-focused programming
The resort partners with local vintners to host tastings and vineyard tours. Guests can book private sessions and guided wine-pairing dinners. There is also educational programming led by sommeliers.
- Guided vineyard walks
- On-site barrel tastings
