- Auro — Michelin-starred seven-course tasting menu (reservation recommended)
- TRUSS Restaurant + Bar — all-day brasserie, breakfast through dinner and an active bar/terrace scene
- Campo Poolside — outdoor Cal‑Mex poolside dining between the pools (weather permitting)

Auro — the Michelin-starred tasting experience
Auro is the resort's Michelin-starred restaurant, offering a seven-course tasting menu that combines French technique with Californian ingredients and influences from Mexican and Japanese cuisine. It operates Wednesday through Saturday evenings.
Because Auro is a tasting-menu restaurant with limited seating, reservations are strongly recommended. The restaurant enforces a modest arrival window and a dress expectation that leans toward business-casual for the tasting room.
- Seven-course Signature Tasting Menu (published as the restaurant's standard format)
- Open Wed–Sat, dinner service only (reservation phone number published separately)
- Reservations may be held for a short grace period; late arrivals risk forfeiting the reservation
| Tip | What to do |
|---|---|
| Want the tasting menu | Reserve Auro in advance; check availability for Wed–Sat evenings |
| Dietary needs | Notify Auro when booking to discuss accommodations |
| Arrival | Arrive within the restaurant's allowed grace period to avoid possible fees or cancellation |
TRUSS Restaurant + Bar — all-day brasserie and bar scene
TRUSS serves breakfast through dinner with a farm-to-table focus: expect elevated classics, wood-fired pizzas, handcrafted pastas and a prominent wine list. The venue includes an open-air lower deck and a bar area used for an active craft-cocktail program and Golden Hour pairings.
Reservations are recommended and often required during busy periods; the resort suggests booking in advance during harvest season. TRUSS also hosts a daily Golden Hour pairing and is the primary venue for breakfast service for resort guests.
- Breakfast, lunch and dinner service with vineyard views
- Golden Hour pairing typically offered in late afternoon
- Reservations via OpenTable or the resort concierge

Campo Poolside — poolside, casual and weather dependent
Campo Poolside is the resort's outdoor poolside restaurant located between the Resort Pool and the Adult Pool; it serves seasonal Cal‑Mexican and California-inspired dishes and a selection of cocktails. As an outdoor venue, it closes on days with inclement weather.
Campo is useful for relaxed lunches or an afternoon by the pool; the venue is often reservation-only and the resort notes that it serves signature items such as house-made guacamole and seasonal poolside plates.
- Open-air dining—check weather and availability before arriving
- Serves lunch and poolside drinks; reservations may be required
- Dress is casual; pool attire accepted in this venue when appropriate
| When to choose Campo | Reason |

| Casual daytime meal | Outdoor seating and vineyard views |
| Poolside cocktails | Dedicated Campo Bar with inventive cocktails and zero-proof options |
