Suzanne Tucker masterfully redesigned the restaurant at Auberge du Soleil without compromising the timeless style of the original designer, Michael Taylor.

Suzanne’s vision for the dining room included elements of warm-blonde wood paired with floor-to-ceiling windows that allow diners to feel immersed in their northern California surroundings.

The resort’s robust bar program will entice even the most loyal oenophile to try something new. This signature Fleur de Lis cocktail, served in a delicate Nick & Nora glass, is an elegant start to the evening.

Bar seating is sumptuous without being stuffy. Suzanne employed the use of a variety of materials that are both grounded and light, allowing the setting to take center stage.
“Our goal with the redesign of Auberge du Soleil was always to maintain its stylish sense of sophistication that is evocative of the South of France while imbuing it with a contemporary spirit,” says Suzanne. “Just as Michael Taylor’s original design vision informed my decisions, The Restaurant and The Bar will appeal to the old guard as well as today’s generation.”
