Napa Valley's Auberge du Soleil Honored by Michelin Guide
The rating system of Michelin organization's restaurant Guide is internationally recognized as one of the most respected culinary accolades. The 2012 Guide continues to rate Auberge du Soleil “a very good restaurant in its category,” and a top dining recommendation for visitors to the Bay Area and Wine Country.

Under the direction of Chef Curry, the 120-seat Auberge du Soleil Restaurant showcases Wine Country cuisine that reflects the natural diversity and rich ingredients of Napa Valley and draws from regional produce, accented with Mediterranean flavors. Curry's menu displays his extensive experience in the traditions of both Napa Valley and France, which continue to be sources of inspiration for the cuisine at Auberge du Soleil. His signature dishes include: White Corn Soup with Rock Shrimp and Chervil Oil; Seared Ono with Wakame, Tempura Maitake, Glazed Pork Belly, and Dashi; Bacon Wrapped Veal with Foie Gras Ravioli, Sugar Snap Peas and Wild Mushrooms; and Liberty Farm Duck with Figs, Hearts of Palm, Fennel, Arugula and Port Beet Sauce.

Working in partnership with Curry to round out the culinary and wine program are Head Sommelier Kris Margerum and Executive Pastry Chef Paul Lemieux. Margerum has cultivated close relationships with Napa's top winemakers to curate the restaurant's wine list of 1,500 selections from 17,000-bottle cellar. Lemieux's passion and creativity in the art of pastry making are the result of more than two decades of experience refined at renowned restaurants throughout the country. Guests enjoying the fruits of Curry's, Lemieux' and Margerum's labor delight in beautifully balanced cuisine in a hillside setting that's every bit as distinctive.
