The Spa at The Estate Yountville is an oasis of relaxation and rejuvenation located in the heart of Yountville.  The Spa is a sanctuary of private spa suites, with a holistic focus on your well-being. Serene calmness sunk in the minute I arrived.  The lobby is elegant and welcoming, with an array of incredible skin care and wellness products available for purchase.  I was warmly welcomed and offered a glass of sparkling wine to begin my spa experience.

I was led to the Women’s Relaxation lounge and given a tour of the amenities, which are plentiful.  The Spa at The Estate offers both indoor and outdoor relaxation lounges, along with eucalyptus-infused steam rooms, dry saunas, swiss experience showers, outdoor jacuzzis, and fireplaces.  I was given a locker, then changed into the luxuriously soft robe, slipped on my spa slippers and headed to the relaxation lounge, where I was soon greeted by my therapist.  She led me to my private spa suite, which was complete with a soaking bath, fireplace and a shower that rivaled the size of my first apartment!

One of the spa’s most popular rituals is the Moor Mud Thermal Springs Wrap, which is designed to detoxify and nourish the skin while promoting relaxation and reducing stress.  I can honestly say it was one of the most relaxing and rejuvenating spa experiences I’ve ever had.  To be clear, when my treatment had concluded, I declared that it was the best 100 minutes of my year!  The experience is listed as a Ritual on the spa menu and it truly was a ritual of relaxation that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a day of total bliss.

The Moor Mud Wrap begins with a full body exfoliation. After the exfoliation, the therapist applies a warm, rich mud made from Moor mud, which is a therapeutic mud that has been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments. Fun fact:  The health benefits of Moor Mud were first realized by the Romans when the wounds of their injured horses healed at a much faster rate when they journeyed through the mineral rich mud.   The skincare benefits of Moor Mud are numerous and when used regularly will purify and re-balance skin.

Once the mud was applied, I was wrapped in warm blankets to help the mud penetrate deep into the skin. As I lay there, I could feel the tension melting away from my body, and I was completely enveloped in a sense of calm and relaxation. The therapist gave me a scalp massage to enhance the overall experience.  This pre-shampoo scalp mask also features Moor Mud along with a cooling menthol and camphor which provided immediate soothing and calming benefits.  I loved this product so much, I took a bottle home!

After the incredible scalp massage, the therapist warmed up the shower for me and exited the room, allowing me to rinse the mud off my body and wash my hair.  The shower was a relaxing experience, with multiple shower heads helping to melt the mud wrap off my skin, which along with my hair, revealed a softness and glow I needed after a long rainy winter!  A warm towel awaited me, and I slipped back onto the treatment table and was treated to a 50 minute full body massage, using a firming body oil which left my skin nourished and hydrated. I felt completely renewed and rejuvenated, and my skin had a beautiful glow that lasted for days.

Overall, my experience with the Moor Mud Wrap at The Spa at The Estate Yountville was a truly indulgent and restorative experience. From the warm and welcoming environment to the skilled and attentive therapist, every aspect of the treatment was thoughtfully designed to create a truly transformative experience. I highly recommend the Moor Mud Wrap to anyone looking to relax, rejuvenate, and nourish their skin.
