Black Oak Mountain Vineyards | Your Private Spa Paradise

Privacy, Darling
- Forget crowded spa pools and awkward locker room encounters. At Black Oak, you’ve got 150 acres of “do not disturb” bliss all to yourself. It’s like having your own private resort, minus the paparazzi (unless you want them, of course).
Luxe Factor – Off the Charts
- Five-star amenities without the tourist crowds? Check. From the structured saltwater infinity pool to the outdoor shower that’ll make you feel like a nature goddess, Black Oak doesn’t skimp on luxury.
NorCal Gateway
- Nestled in the heart of Northern California, Black Oak is your gateway to everything NorCal has to offer. Napa vineyards? A stone’s throw away. San Francisco sourdough? Just a scenic drive down the coast. Lake Tahoe adventures? Right in your backyard. It’s the perfect home base for your NorCal spa-hopping adventure.
Insta-Worthy Views at Every Turn
- Snow-dusted vineyards in winter, sun-kissed hills in summer – every season is photo shoot season at Black Oak. Your followers won’t know whether to be jealous of your glow or the views (spoiler: it’s both).
The Black Oak Spa Experience
While not a traditional spa resort, Black Oak offers a bespoke wellness experience that’ll make those other resorts look like your local YMCA (no offense, YMCA).
- Saltwater Infinity Pool – Soak in the panoramic views while the mineral-rich water works its magic on your skin. It’s like floating in a cloud, but with better Wi-Fi.
- Private Hot Tub – Bubbles, views, and maybe a glass of Black Oak’s finest wine? It’s not just relaxation; it’s an art form.
- Disconnect & Reconnect – Black Oak 100% solar, sustainable, and EMF-free. The water onsite is structured and triple-filtered (even in the salt pool).
- Living Outdoor Shower – Embrace your inner earth goddess with an outdoor shower under the stars.
- Yoga on the Terrace – Namaste with a side of vineyard views. Your downward dog has never looked so good.
- Hiking Trails – Because sometimes the best spa treatment is fresh air and endorphins. Plus, it justifies that extra pastry at breakfast.
- Wine Tasting – Hey, resveratrol is an antioxidant, right? We’re calling it “grape therapy.”
