Whether
visiting on business or pleasure, guests will enjoy Silverado Resort’s extensive
recreational facilities as well as the wide variety of activities available in the
surrounding world-renowned Napa Valley.
An excellent way to enjoy Silverado’s natural beauty is to play the two 18-hole golf
courses, each in the distinctive style of their architect, Robert Trent Jones, Jr. The
courses cover 360 picturesque acres and feature tree-lined fairways, sculpted bunkers,
ponds and spacious greens.
The 6,500 yard South Course challenges golfers with side-hill lies and more than a dozen
water crossings, while the North Course stretches 6,700 yards but is occasionally more
forgiving. A complete golf pro shop is available in the Club House, and a staff of top
professionals are on hand to assist guests in improving their golf game.
The Spa at Silverado is a first-class, full-service health spa. Fashioned after a classic
Roman Spa, the 16,000 square-foot facility is a private resort facility incorporating
massage therapy, skin care and body treatments, a fitness center, gift shop, spa cafe,
hair and nail care salon in a casually elegant setting.
Tennis enthusiasts will find an extensive complex of 17 courts intermingled between garden
paths, courtyards, and fountains. Guests who wish to strengthen their backhand or improve
their serve will find the help they need from Silverado’s staff of friendly
professionals.
For those wishing to bask in the sun, Silverado has ten swimming pools, ensuring that
everyone can find a lounge chair. The main pool complex includes two pools and a
whirlpool. Silverado’s immaculate grounds are also perfect for bicycling, walking or
jogging. Ten-speed bikes are available at the tennis shop and the Concierge has jogging
trail maps.
While Silverado is a self-contained resort, guests may wish to experience some of the
recreational opportunities found throughout the Valley. Activities range from horseback
riding to boating, fishing or waterskiing at nearby Lake Berryessa. For the more
adventurous, hot air ballooning over the vineyards is a perennial favorite.
Most people believe a visit to Napa Valley is not complete without touring some of the
world famous wineries for a behind-the-scenes look into the secrets of making fine wine
and an opportunity to sample vintages. One of the most popular attractions is a leisurely
trip through the spectacular wine county aboard the Wine Train, which runs nonstop between
Napa and St. Helena. In addition to premium Napa Valley wines, passengers may enjoy
brunch, lunch or dinner.
Clothing boutiques, premium outlet stores, antiques and art galleries abound in downtown
Napa, as well as St. Helena and Calistoga, a short drive upvalley. Yountville’s
Vintage 1870 is a century old winery complex where shoppers can purchase one-of-a-kind
clothing, handmade crafts and antiques.
Business and pleasure? Why not. Staying at Silverado means plenty of recreational
choices. |
