New Seasonal Three-Course In-Room Dining Menu, with Shared Entrée Served in Le Creuset's Colorful Signature Cast Iron Dutch Ovens, Makes Room Service a Romantic and Elevated Dining Experience
RUTHERFORD, Calif., Dec. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bringing the spirit of the season to life in wine country, today Auberge du Soleil, the quintessential Napa Valley adult getaway, unveiled a festive display honoring its culinary roots. In partnership with renowned French cookware icon, Le Creuset, the holiday installation set in the foyer of the property's Michelin Star restaurant, features a multi-tiered decorative tower showcasing the cookware brand's signature Dutch Ovens and Mini Cocottes in various sizes and vibrant shades of green (Thyme, Olive and Artichaut).
The Le Creuset Holiday Tree is adorned with organic woodland elements indigenous to the landscape, including lichen, reindeer and sphagnum mosses, natural oak branches, ornamental artificial birds and nests, and red pepper and white tallow berries. The scene is elevated with delicate sparkling lights, hand blown green and red European glass globes, and crimson and forest green velvet ribbon meant to accentuate the rich green tones of the cookware.
"In 1981 we established Auberge du Soleil first as a fine dining restaurant, several years before the hotel opened," said Bradley Reynolds, Managing Director at Auberge du Soleil. "As a result, culinary is truly at the heart of our guest experience, which makes our partnership with a renowned global culinary leader like Le Creuset so meaningful. Featuring the brand's revered cookware as the centerpiece of this holiday display highlights the significance of our guests' culinary journey and the distinctive food memories we strive to create for all who dine with us."
In conjunction, Auberge du Soleil also launched a new in-room dining experience for hotel guests featuring a seasonal three-course prix fixe menu, including starter, shared entrée served in a Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and dessert, all perfectly paired with a local Napa Valley wine and served in the comfort of a luxurious guest room or suite. Now available, the inaugural winter menu features an oven roasted beet salad with frisée, goat cheese, walnuts, and citrus, Cabernet braised short rib with baby carrots, mushrooms and red wine sauce, and apple cider doughnuts with ginger beer compressed Granny Smith apples, Calvados caramel and shortbread streusel, priced at $190 for two guests. The suggested wine pairing, a 750ml bottle of Snowden Vineyard's 'The Ranch' Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 2022, is available for an additional $160. New menus will be released throughout the year to showcase peak of season ingredients sourced from local purveyors.
