This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
The Restaurant at Auberge du Soleil is a Michelin one-star (2026) Napa Valley fine-dining room in Rutherford serving a multi-course prix-fixe menu. The current menu offers a Japanese Wagyu A5 course as a $75 supplement ('Japanese Wagyu A5, Grilled Little Gem, Nicoise Olives, Bagna Cauda'). The A5 grade is stated, but no prefecture, brand or producer is disclosed, and Wagyu appears as a single optional supplement rather than a program focus.

Common questions
- Does The Restaurant at Auberge du Soleil serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 17, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does The Restaurant at Auberge du Soleil serve?
- Its menu discloses A5 Japanese. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is The Restaurant at Auberge du Soleil listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
