There may or may not be an adobe cottage within the walls of the white-columned mansion at the heart of the Silverado Resort.
General John Franklin Miller, who later became a U.S. Senator, built the elegant 14-room home in the 1870s on a site along Napa Valley’s Milliken Creek. Before he could begin construction, however, he faced a dilemma: there was already a Spanish adobe cottage on that spot, and local superstition held that ill fortune would befall whomever destroyed the adobe structure. Taking no chances, Miller is said to have built around it, a possibility that the three-foot-thick walls at the southwestern corner of the mansion seem to support.
Whatever the truth to that legend, the 1,200-acre Miller estate ultimately became the Silverado Resort, welcoming its first guests in 1966 and quickly emerging as a major vacation and conference option in the Napa Valley. It has a full range of amenities, including 36 holes of golf, a spa and fitness center, and a dozen hard courts.
USPTA Elite Pro Katie Dellich has presided over the resort’s tennis programs since 2012. Originally from Pennsylvania, she played Division I tennis for Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh then launched on a worldwide teaching and coaching career at resorts and clubs in places as far flung as the Maldives, Caribbean, Dubai, Hawaii, Mexico and as close as Virginia and Southern California before she finally settled in Napa.
Tennis Programs: Dellich and her staff offer the staple of clinics and private lessons, but have increasingly attracted attention for their three-day/two-night “Backhand, Vines and Volley” tennis getaways, holiday programming, customized camps, and—unusual in the Napa area—Spring Break and summer camps for kids that combine tennis with swimming and golf. Court Complex. Silverado’s 10 courts occupy two locations: there are three courts near the mansion, which is where a small room with a bare minimum of pro-shop accoutrements serves as the main staging area; there are another seven hard courts adjacent to the spa across the road. Court fees: free to guests.
Off Court
Golf Courses: Robert Trent Jones, Jr. originally designed the 36 holes of golf at Silverado. PGA Hall of Famer Johnny Miller subsequently redesigned both to treat golfers to oak-lined fairways, dozens of water crossings, and elevation changes.
Spa & Fitness Center: The Roman-inspired spa encompasses 16,000 square feet and offers an array of massages and treatments, including aromatherapy, Himalayan salt stone, Chardonnay sugar scrubs, deep-tissue massages, and packages tailored specifically to golfers. The men’s and women’s locker rooms have saunas and steam rooms and both open out onto a 25-meter lap pool with outdoor whirlpools, and garden treatment cabanas. The spa building also houses a well-equipped fitness center, with weight-training and cardiovascular equipment, as well as some 30 exercise classes, among them cardio, yoga, and step. A Spa Cafe serves smoothies, salads, coffees, and more.
In addition to the lap pool at the spa, there are nine other swimming pools scattered throughout the property. There are also courts for bocce.
Dining: There are several restaurants, chief among them The Grill, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, al fresco if you like, from a menu that focuses on Wine Country cuisine. There is also the Silverado Market and Bakery, for soups, salads, coffee, picnic fare, groceries, and miscellaneous items.
Accommodations
Rather than a central hotel, it has scattered its 370 rooms through more than a score of low-rise buildings. Every room has a balcony or terrace and everything from a junior suite to one with three bedrooms also has a wood-burning fireplace.
Getting there
Seasons: Year-round.
Travel Instructions: There is a county airport in Napa; however, most visitors arrive at either San Francisco International (SFO), Oakland International (OAK), or Sacramento International Airport. Travel time is roughly 1 hour from Oakland, 75 minutes from San Francisco or Sacramento.
I just spent the weekend playing tennis at Silverado, and it was AMAZING! The program they put together was so much fun. The pros think of everything and made sure that the playing opportunities were really worthwhile for everyone. We had two days of tennis, phenomenal coaching, food and wine, friendly competition–even gift bags! If I were handing out awards for the best tennis pros ever, I’d give them to Katie, John, and Quinn from Napa; Chris and Ben from Carmel Valley Ranch; and Kevin from Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay.

Beautiful and good bargain value rooms found. The food was good. Excellent customer service at the spa cafe and tennis center. The vallet and front desk customer service was well below expectation. The in adequate service was simply not acceptable for the price of a resort stay.
CS
High-spirited and well-organized weekend. Fun tennis, great pros. Loved Katie D and Kevin H’s enthusiasm. Quinn and John were stellar, too. I wish it was longer!
SS
I had the best experience at the Vines and Volleys Tennis camp. I had a great time and learned so much on court with John and Jacob. Katie and Quinn really helped me with my serve. The whole crew of 6 pros gave lot of great tips and offered a variety of perspectives that complimented each other. I can’t wait to come back next year!
JD
I enjoyed the Backhand Vine and Volleys tennis camp at Silverado. I was on court with the erudite John Weston. The camp was a great mix of competitive, lots of movement and learning. Katie and Quinn, though I wasn’t on court with them, did a great job of organizing the camp and making sure it ran smoothly. I’d definitely participate again.
CB
Really enjoyed the fantastic tennis camp. All the pros were the very best. Looking forward to coming back next year.
JK
The university of Hawaii Men’s tennis came to the Silverado Resort and Spa to participate in the college invitational tournament and had a fantastic experience!! From the staff being always kind, enthusiastic, and professional to the quality of the site with its top class amenities, this event truly sets the standards for other events to follow. We cannot wait to be back! Mahalo for everything!!
RR
This is one of the best Resorts and tennis staffs around. Highly recommended.

I recently participated in a Fall tournament at the Silverado Tennis Resort. It was incredible and Katie, Quinn and John were so positive and professional. Thank you!
LN
Katie and Quinn go above and beyond when it comes to making their guests feel welcome. Everything we did was organized very well, and the setting and facilities are exceptional. We definitely want to come back again soon! Great place for any tennis player looking for a getaway!
JU
Silverado Resort and Spa is an amazing place with all of the amenities you can imagine. We work with Katie Dellich and Quinn Saine, the two tennis professionals on staff. They were very helpful and made our whole experience memorable. It’s incredible the work that Katie and Quinn have done to create such a great atmosphere and tennis community at Silverado
AF
My son Jacob and his cousins have been coming to the Silverado GTS camp for two years and it is their main summer focus. The staff, Coaches, and facility is amazing. Not only do they have fun, but they learn so much. Thank you Katie, Quinn, and John for the for the Attention, care, and love you put in to your craft. My Family couldn’t be happier.
GV
Wonderful tennis camp with great instructors!
NN
Awesome camp with wonderful instructors
CK
Great instruction from world-class instructors. Love they way they break it down into simple, yet highly effective, teaching that you take home with you and adds real value to your game for the long run for all levels of players. Tremendous experience on and off the court in Silverado.
FK
I play at Silverado regularly. The instructors there are so good and just really nice people. Recently I participated in the PBI World Camp held over 4 days. Tons of tennis and instructors coming from all over the world. Very supportive and suited to all levels of play! I wouldn’t hesitate to enroll! Katie, Quinn, and John are all fabulous instructors. Daily clinics and private instruction. And of course you’re in the beautiful Napa Valley!!
SB
This was a fantastic camp with a lot of great people and outstanding coaching staff. Katie Dellich, Quinn Saine, and the entire PBI staff on hand that weekend were phenomenal. Nothing but 5/5 stars. Silverado Resort is always a great setting to play some high level tennis!
DF
Everyone is smiling here! Most of the guests are exploring food and wine! The tennis staff is positive and inspirational, whether you’re joining a clinic or taking a private lesson. The tennis camps have awesome instruction, without being overly intense. Getting a good workout before or after driving through vineyards and experiencing Napa Valley makes the day complete.
AC
Strengths: Super coaching staff. PBI 4-day program had excellent instructor-to-participant ratio that provided active and dynamic instruction. Well paced with both morning and early afternoon sessions. Superfun!!! Wonderful program for all levels. Extremely well-maintained courts
GM
The PBI World Camp at Silverado was incredible!!! Great tennis, excellent PBI instruction and a beautiful setting combined to make the perfect recipe for my tennis vacation. I’ll be back!
PC
Greatest tennis facilities I’ve ever seen. Katie and Quinn made me feel like a I upped my game to a 4.0.
VC
I’d double checked my review and was confused by the rating system showing “no opinion” on the second line. I’d like to correct my review to 5/5 for all the above items because I consider my time at Silverado the best vacations I ever have.
GB
Both my children attended camp and loved it. The trainers were knowledgeable and so kid-friendly. My eldest one mentioned she may want to do tennis as a job someday. : )
HT
The instructors are very friendly and knowledgeable. They go out of their way to make sure the kids are taken care of.
TW
Would recommend this site to anyone. This is my 2nd year participating in the summer adult tennis camp at Silverado resort and spa. the pros….Katie, Quinn, and John…all amazing! I improve a new part of my game every time I step out on the court with them. Before this last camp (July 2019), I wasn’t really confident hitting my backhand with under-spin. They had me target my weaknesses. I can already see improvement in the strokes I once tended to avoid. On Friday night, the Wilson rep was on site with new shoes and racquets for all the campers to try out. On top of all the positive experiences, this site is FUN! The weekend flew by and I met some really great people along the way. Can’t wait to do it again next year!

I had the chance to come to Silverado for 4th of July Weekend and my wife and I had a wonderful experience with the tennis crew. I’m able to play tennis at a fairly high level (USTA 4.5+) and set up some private hitting sessions with Quinn before arriving. I had a great experience hitting with him in the mornings and having him take a look at a few things that have been bothering me. By chance, his father (a hall of fame high school tennis coach) happened to be in town and was able to also give me a few tips from the sideline. It was a fantastic way to start my days by getting some good exercise in and work on my game. Also impressive was what John and Katie were able to do for my wife. She is a beginner who only started playing ~6 months ago and participated in both private lessons as well as one of the clinics. Much of her private lesson time was devoted to stroke fundamentals and her groundstrokes were transformed in a matter of hours. It was quite impressive to see what good, fundamental instruction does for a beginning player like her. She also enjoyed playing in the clinics as they did a good job of pairing the participants with other individuals at a similar level and made the drills and activities fun and pressure free. Overall, it was refreshing and impressive to see what the group was able to offer both of us despite our differences in playing ability. I would highly recommend this group to anyone coming to the Napa area and looking for either fundamental tennis instruction or consistent, high level play.

Came for TennisAnd it was a great experience thanks to Katie and her staff!! Will come back!
WK
Silverado is a gorgeous resort in a quaint setting. The courts are nicely maintained and the amenities are spectacular. Tennis staff is very professional and knowledgeable. John, in particular, is fabulous. Not only is he a great guy, but he is a great hitting partner. I highly recommend this place to tennis enthusiasts.
MF
Katie Dellich is the best! She is so responsive and set me up with another great tennis experience on my vacation. I always get to meet new people and enjoy the community of beautiful players she always has assembled. She is a master tennis instructor, and has really helped me with my serve and doubles strategy.
SD
The tennis pros at Silverado Resort and Spa, Katie Dellich, Quinn Saine, and John Weston, are all incredibly dedicated and sincere people. Great tennis instruction and even better company. There isn’t a resort equivalent to the paired ambiance of captivating Napa hills and bright, encouraging energy of Katie, Quinn, and John.
LN
I surprised my husband with this camp for our 22nd Anniversary, and we both had a fantastic time! Katie, Quinn, John and Elliot were all very positive, professional and encouraging. I feel the camp was structured well, with a good balance of instruction, examples, and then time to work on the skills and strategies in fun ways. They were good at observing and then providing constructive feedback. I was probably one of the more experienced players there, so lots of it wasn’t new to me, but I received some specific feedback re my serve which I think will help me as I practice. I did like how they grouped us accordingly so that in smaller groups we were of similar abilities and could get the most out of practicing with the appropriate people. This was our first camp experience, and our first time at this resort. We will definitely come back! I’m not sure if we’d do a camp again but definitely will be a repeat destination and would love to do the drop in clinics with these coaches. I have told our tennis friends about it and who knows maybe a group of us will come together sometime! We’re fans for sure!
DB
Great resort and tennis experience – the coaching and organization was top notch.
MT
Silverado Resort has it all… Great Tennis facility along with amazing golf course. The grounds are kept impeccable and of course you are in Napa Valley, so the food and wine are second to none! I have been coming here for many years now and the place only gets better.
JH
This is the third year my daughter has attending the GTS (golf/tennis/swim) summer program at Silverado Resort. My husband and I are incredibly impressed with the skills and techniques that she’s learning every week (I wish I could go to camp!). Last year we were only able to attend a few weeks but she’s really enthused to be attending the whole duration of the program. It’s always a ringing endorsement when your child can’t wait to get up and go to a program.
NP
I just did a tennis camp at Silverado called Backhands, Volleys, and Vines, what a great time. Katie, Quinn and John did a great job of coming up with interesting drills and keeping them moving. Silverado has three first rate tennis pro’s, who have improved my tennis game in so many ways. I defiantly plan on coming back soon!
CP
My husband and I are avid tennis players. When we travel, we always choose a resort that offers tennis along with offering a tennis pro to hit with and learn from. Silverado Resort is one of our top picks due to the extensive knowledge and ability of their Tennis Pros/coaches, specifically, Quinn Saine, John Westin and Katie, which whom I don’t know her last name. We also happened to see the three of them in action with a very young group of beginners. It looked like a summer tennis camp for children. It was delightful to watch the interaction between the coaches and children. Looked as though all were having a fun time. We highly recommend staying at the resort, it is close to everything Napa Valley has to offer!
JF
All the kids camps that I have gone to and or heard about are incredible, fun, and we get to learn something new every day! Every coach at Silverado Resort makes things fun, exciting, and helps with whatever you need. Not just with you want, but things they think that u need. Everyone is helpful at Silverado Resort and I love going there! 5 ball rating! Silverado Resort and Spa is an amazing and I love the spend time there. I 100% recommend going here to have amazing experience! 100% spectacular!
KF
Katie Dellich was incredible. She was kind and professional. A pleasure to work with. She’s a real asset to your organization.
JF
If you have the chance to visit the Napa Valley, please consider Silverado Resort and Spa!! My son did a week of GTS (Golf, Tennis, Swim) camp and he LOVED IT!! The instruction at the junior level is unparalleled and the dedication and love of the coaches is like something I have never seen. Specific shout outs to Katie and Quinn in tennis, and Tara and Brandon in golf. My child has likely developed a lifelong love of these two sports due to the efforts of these amazing people. Thank you so very much!!
CP
Beautiful resort but even better tennis facility/program. Very well organized with stellar professionals (Katie, Quinn and John were the highlight of our experience. Excellent instruction in both private and group environment and super fun at the same time. Wish I could participate every day! I can’t recommend the tennis more highly. Just go…youvwont be sorry!
DB
My partner and I spent several days hitting the ball through the Silverado tennis program with John and Katie. The group clinics and private lessons had a huge impact not only on our tennis game, but also on the fun factor of spending time @ the resort. The professionalism, knowledge of the game , and teaching techniques were truly appreciated. Katie ran a small tournament as part of our company retreat at Silverado which was icing on the cake of our stay at the resort. I can highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a five star tennis experience regardless of ones level!
ZV
I attended a 2-and-half day tennis clinic at Silverado resort in Napa. The instruction was excellent, the group was a lot of fun, and the courts and the resort were phenomenal. The week after, I applied many tennis skills I acquired during the tennis camp during 2 USTA matches with a great success! I highly recommend attending the tennis camps/clinics at Silverado resort.
SS
Strengths: Quality of Instruction and quality of tennis level of participants. Well organized. Great first night dinner. Highly recommend!
FH
My girlfriends and I went this April and had such an amazing time. perfect weather, great location.Absolutely worth it! The pros, Quinn,Katie and everyone else made it so fun specally the last day when we all played their version of Laver Cup. Would definitely do it again .
RH
I was visiting my sister in Napa, and for fun we wanted to take a tennis lesson together. My sister is an advanced player whereas I have only picked up a racquet a few times. The instructor Katy was funny, supportive, and really knew her stuff. I did not feel the large skill gap between my sister and me in the lesson she gave and we all had a blast. I plan to make return trips!
EF
The professionalism, enthusiasm and extreme approachability of Katie, Quinn and John at Silverado are absolutely unparalleled. Speaking as someone who grew up playing tennis, only to put down the racket for ten years, the World Camp I attended this past fall was incredibly inclusive. The focus for each day was well planned to introduce beginners to basics of play, as well as challenge the most voracious of players to re-focus on fundamentals that they’d forgotten–thereby improving their level in tangible ways. I don’t know if I’ve ever met someone as energized as Katie on the court, and I was highly appreciative that Quinn was wholeheartedly committed to working with the lower level players (yours truly included). The entire weekend reinforced my own commitment to start playing tennis again, and I’m looking forward to doing so at Silverado and any place where I can find these three individuals.
BM
Wow! Silverado Resort has an exceptional tennis program! I have been to Silverado so many times I have lost count; but one thing is for sure my experience gets better every time. Katie Dellich and Quinn Saine, the two PBI professionals that run the program, are the best in the business; and that is coming from a competitive 4.5 doubles player who has taken lessons his entire life. Their instruction is easy to understand and assimilate, yet still advanced and insightful. More importantly, they make tennis fun! Their enthusiasm and passion for the game is contagious. Whether in clinics, private lessons or social round robins; every one participating leaves with a smile on their face and a pep in their step. If you have ever dreamed of playing tennis in the Napa Valley, please please please do yourself a favor and partake in Silverado’s superb mix of social and competitive offerings. You will not regret it!
BJ
If you are planning a vacation you cannot do better then the Silverado in Napa California. Not only will you find the best food and wine in the USA but you will find an abundance of outdoor activities. One of the best times I’ve had was with Katie and Quin two of the best tennis pros I’ve ever had. They made my time on the court fun and informative bringing me a new love for tennis. I’m so glad they have not added pickle ball at this resort as the tennis program is enough. This resort has a beautiful golf course and spa and is a perfect setting for weddings. The PBI pros at this resort truly are the best in the country. Katie is a joy to take a lesson with but if she isn’t available every PBI Pro at the Silverado is extremely talented. You will enjoy spending your vacation here.
MG
After participating in the 2018 PBI World Tennis Camp at Silverado I developed a new appreciation for the sport. Local Pros, Katie, Quinn, and John were quick to identify my game’s weaknesses and challenged me to focus on a few fundamental techniques that lead to vast improvements. At first, I had my doubts; yet, now I’m a recurring customer and highly recommend you stop by Silverado for a lesson. Their an organized bunch who bring a lot of energy to the court. If you’re fortunate enough, I also recommend you look into the PBI World Camps – the visiting Pros that I met, Joey, Zac, Leon, & Fabio, are all great people and worth your while. Hope to see everyone again.
GY
The tennis pros and facility at Silverado Resort and Spa are awesome. My wife and I have attended several clinics and have had individual lessons and were really impressed. Katie and Quinn are fantastic tennis pros and operate a very nice tennis venue.

Specific shout outs to Katie and Quinn in tennis, and Tara and Brandon in golf. My child has likely developed a lifelong love of these two sports due to the efforts of these amazing people. Thank you so very much!!
Beautiful resort but even better tennis facility/program. Very well organized with stellar professionals (Katie, Quinn and John were the highlight of our experience. Excellent instruction in both private and group environment and super fun at the same time. Wish I could participate every day! I can’t recommend the tennis more highly. Just go…youvwont be sorry!
My partner and I spent several days hitting the ball through the Silverado tennis program with John and Katie. The group clinics and private lessons had a huge impact not only on our tennis game, but also on the fun factor of spending time @ the resort. The professionalism, knowledge of the game , and teaching techniques were truly appreciated. Katie ran a small tournament as part of our company retreat at Silverado which was icing on the cake of our stay at the resort. I can highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a five star tennis experience regardless of ones level!
I attended a 2-and-half day tennis clinic at Silverado resort in Napa. The instruction was excellent, the group was a lot of fun, and the courts and the resort were phenomenal. The week after, I applied many tennis skills I acquired during the tennis camp during 2 USTA matches with a great success! I highly recommend attending the tennis camps/clinics at Silverado resort.
Strengths: Quality of Instruction and quality of tennis level of participants. Well organized. Great first night dinner. Highly recommend!
My girlfriends and I went this April and had such an amazing time. perfect weather, great location.Absolutely worth it! The pros, Quinn,Katie and everyone else made it so fun specally the last day when we all played their version of Laver Cup. Would definitely do it again .
I was visiting my sister in Napa, and for fun we wanted to take a tennis lesson together. My sister is an advanced player whereas I have only picked up a racquet a few times. The instructor Katy was funny, supportive, and really knew her stuff. I did not feel the large skill gap between my sister and me in the lesson she gave and we all had a blast. I plan to make return trips!
The professionalism, enthusiasm and extreme approachability of Katie, Quinn and John at Silverado are absolutely unparalleled. Speaking as someone who grew up playing tennis, only to put down the racket for ten years, the World Camp I attended this past fall was incredibly inclusive. The focus for each day was well planned to introduce beginners to basics of play, as well as challenge the most voracious of players to re-focus on fundamentals that they’d forgotten–thereby improving their level in tangible ways. I don’t know if I’ve ever met someone as energized as Katie on the court, and I was highly appreciative that Quinn was wholeheartedly committed to working with the lower level players (yours truly included). The entire weekend reinforced my own commitment to start playing tennis again, and I’m looking forward to doing so at Silverado and any place where I can find these three individuals.
Wow! Silverado Resort has an exceptional tennis program! I have been to Silverado so many times I have lost count; but one thing is for sure my experience gets better every time. Katie Dellich and Quinn Saine, the two PBI professionals that run the program, are the best in the business; and that is coming from a competitive 4.5 doubles player who has taken lessons his entire life. Their instruction is easy to understand and assimilate, yet still advanced and insightful. More importantly, they make tennis fun! Their enthusiasm and passion for the game is contagious. Whether in clinics, private lessons or social round robins; every one participating leaves with a smile on their face and a pep in their step. If you have ever dreamed of playing tennis in the Napa Valley, please please please do yourself a favor and partake in Silverado’s superb mix of social and competitive offerings. You will not regret it!
If you are planning a vacation you cannot do better then the Silverado in Napa California. Not only will you find the best food and wine in the USA but you will find an abundance of outdoor activities. One of the best times I’ve had was with Katie and Quin two of the best tennis pros I’ve ever had. They made my time on the court fun and informative bringing me a new love for tennis. I’m so glad they have not added pickle ball at this resort as the tennis program is enough. This resort has a beautiful golf course and spa and is a perfect setting for weddings. The PBI pros at this resort truly are the best in the country. Katie is a joy to take a lesson with but if she isn’t available every PBI Pro at the Silverado is extremely talented. You will enjoy spending your vacation here.
After participating in the 2018 PBI World Tennis Camp at Silverado I developed a new appreciation for the sport. Local Pros, Katie, Quinn, and John were quick to identify my game’s weaknesses and challenged me to focus on a few fundamental techniques that lead to vast improvements. At first, I had my doubts; yet, now I’m a recurring customer and highly recommend you stop by Silverado for a lesson. Their an organized bunch who bring a lot of energy to the court. If you’re fortunate enough, I also recommend you look into the PBI World Camps – the visiting Pros that I met, Joey, Zac, Leon, & Fabio, are all great people and worth your while. Hope to see everyone again.
The tennis pros and facility at Silverado Resort and Spa are awesome. My wife and I have attended several clinics and have had individual lessons and were really impressed. Katie and Quinn are fantastic tennis pros and operate a very nice tennis venue.
