The Silverado Resort and Spa is a 1,200-acre (4.9 km²) golf, tennis, and spa resort in Napa County, California, United States. The venue is named after the Silverado Mine, a quicksilver mine near Mount Saint Helena. The resort is the fifth largest employer in Napa County.^[3]

The United States Census Bureau has designated the area surrounding the Silverado Resort as a separate census-designated place (CDP) for statistical purposes.^[4] The population of the CDP was 1,095 at the 2010 census.

In October 2017, parts of the resort were damaged by wildfires; flames arrived hours after the conclusion of the Safeway Open.^[5][6]

The resort's centerpiece southern style mansion was built by General John Franklin Miller in the 1860s. Amfac, Inc. developed the property as a resort in the 1960s and it was purchased by Robert Meyer in 1984 for $20 million. He sold it to Isao Okawa in 1989 for $110 million, and after his death it was inherited by his son, Setsuo Okawa; the property was listed for sale by the Okawa family in September 2009.^[7] In 2010, professional golfer and businessman Johnny Miller, Rug Doctor Corporation founder Roger Kent, and its CEO Tim Wall assumed ownership of the resort under a partnership agreement named Silverado Resort Investment Group LLC on July 1.^[8] Dolce Hotels and Resorts Company was hired by the partnership to manage the resort.^[9] Miller made several changes to freshen up the two championship courses including lengthening the North Course by 250 yards (230 m), widening fairways, repositioning bunkers, and rebuilding tees. He also lengthened the club's driving range and added a teaching area to the range.^[10][11][12] The resort was sold to KSL Capital Partners, LLC and Arcade Capital LLC in 2022.^[13]

Milliken Creek, a tributary to the Napa River,^[20] flows through the Silverado Country Club. There are approximately 7,300 acres (30 km²) planted to vineyards in this watershed including the drainage area of Milliken Reservoir.^[21] Milliken Creek rises on the western slopes of the east side of the Napa Valley before flowing through the Silverado Country Club property. Much of this area had once been part of the Mexican land grant Rancho Yajome. Most of this watershed was wilderness area to at least 1869, and thereafter the lower watershed was begun to be developed as pasture and grazing agricultural uses. In a 1989 stream survey conducted for the Silverado country Club by Earth Metrics Inc, the steelhead fishery was found to be robust up to and including the Silverado Country Club.^[22]

In 2010, the United States Census Bureau made the Silverado Resort and the residential areas immediately outside its perimeter as a separate census-designated place (CDP) for statistical purposes.^[23] The area is an unincorporated area north of the City of Napa. Per the 2020 census, the population was 948.^[24]
