Auberge du Soleil has a resort feel — out in the countryside, in the midst of vineyards, a great view of the valley — but you have to drive to go elsewhere.
Bardessono will feel like a hotel — in the village of Yountville, easy walking into town.

Would love for the FT experts to weigh in on which property is a better choice for a newbie.
