Sitting 20 feet above vineyards with Mount Saint Helena hovering in the distance, Spa Montage Healdsburg embraces its wine country setting. Inside the 11,500-square-foot facility, you’ll find nature-inspired materials, like the natural rock wall that serves as the focal point in the spa’s reception area, slate and wood floors throughout, dividers in the relaxation area that recall branches, and black-and-white photos of stones in water adorning the treatment room walls.
But nature isn’t just behind the design — it also influences the treatments, which use ingredients from plants harvested on site (like the nourishing honey in the Harvest Honey Ginger Infusion Ritual).
The 11-treatment-room spa also brings the outside in for its other amenities: a state-of-the-art fitness center outfitted with Technogym and Peloton equipment puts some machines and weights outdoors, a Yoga Garden sits amid the vineyards, an alfresco pool overlooking the vines allows for laps or relaxation, and a full-service salon boasts floor-to-ceiling windows for a glimpse of the grounds.
- The Harvest Honey Ginger Infusion almost sounds good enough to drink. But the ritual is a treat for your skin. Warming ginger and mineral salts exfoliate your dermis and a fragrant neroli (an essential oil distilled from Seville orange flowers) mist helps soothe you. Next, you’re slathered with honey — which is full of vitamins and antioxidants and serves as a humectant, preserving your skin’s moisture — and cocooned in a wrap. As your body soaks up the rich honey, basalt stones massage your neck and shoulders. It ends with a hydrating ginger and coriander rubdown.
- A treatment at the Sonoma spa gives you access to the adjacent zero-edge pool. An adults-only spot, it’s a tranquil place to escape and appreciate the view of Montage Healdsburg’s 15.5 acres of vineyards.
- Keep your youthful glow with The Masterpiece, an anti-aging and cellular renewing facial specially designed for Spa Montage from Swiss brand Valmont. It features a dual cleansing and six masks, including a collagen treatment for the face, neck, décolleté and eyes. The service employs oxygen, suction and salicylic and glycolic acid peels to dislodge impurities to ward off the signs of aging.
- The Healdsburg spa maintains a calendar of daily classes, but Yoga Among the Vines is arguably the best offering. You’ll go through poses in the scenic vineyard’s Yoga Garden on a Corc yoga mat, made of sustainably harvested cork in Portugal.
- The Pure Bliss tries to help you reach that state with a full-body exfoliation of aromatic salts, followed by a warm, hydrating body milk wrap and a neck and shoulder rub, and finally a massage. You’ll get to select among English brand Lola's Apothecary’s incredible scents for the service.
- The Sonoma Blend Massage tailors the pressure to your liking to alleviate stress and pains. This treatment pairs locally sourced, cold decanted olive oil with your choice of Verde, Bohemian Rose or lavender for a therapeutic rub.
- Couples can indulge in the Journey of the Senses. The fragrant two-hour session begins with the distinct essences of lavender, cedar and vetiver. Next comes a body polish of French lavender, vanilla and sweet orange. Wash off in a shower scented with eucalyptus, rosemary and peppermint to prep for an aromatic massage using flower poultices and orange blossom oil and soufflé. As you soak up shea butter in a wrap, your neck and shoulder will get rubbed with a heated rose porfyr stone. The service also caters to your sense of taste by capping it off with a chocolate and wine pairing.
- In the salon, get hair services using Shu Uemura products and manicures and pedicures with Dazzle Dry polishes.
