Take one step into the Caudalie Vinotherapie Spa and experience Bacchanalian revelry that is actually good for you and your body. Located on the fourth floor of the historic New York Plaza, the Caudalie Spa brings the organic elements of French countryside to the heart of the city. Stone tile work, natural woods and soothing earth tones set a tranquil mood, while curving, entwined vine sculptures recall an old-world winery. Facilities include spacious treatment rooms, men’s and women’s locker rooms with steam rooms and a spacious wine-lounge, which serves refreshing teas, waters or, of course, French wines, as the perfect finish. The Caudalie philosophy is based on the previously untapped potential of grapes’ polyphenols, and all treatments incorporate the fruit’s miraculous rejuvenating power. Co-founders Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas are so certain of the grape’s anti-aging potency they established their own research team at the University of Bordeaux devoted to harnessing the grape’s free-radical blocking powers. With its wide array of treatments and the only in-spa wine sommelier in New York City, the Caudalie Spa is a rare vintage indeed.

The Menu: All of the treatments at the Caudalie Spa incorporate the natural elements of the grape. The extensive spa menu includes everything from facials and massages to waxing, pedicures and reflexology. Unique to Caudalie are the barrel baths—wine-barrel-shaped hot-tubs enriched with crushed grapes and red vine extracts for soaking—as well as a selection of grape-centric body treatments such as the Full-Harvest Ritual and the 100% Grape Ritual.

The Must-have: Great for wine connoisseurs and relaxation experts alike, the Winemaker’s Massage incorporates the age-old "crushing of the grapes" process into a rejuvenating body treatment. Combining a bare-hand massage with rolling-massage using a wine-maker’s stick, the treatment is designed to boost the body’s circulation and muscle-tone. Enjoy a glass of Grand Cru Château Smith Haut Lafitte in the wine lounge after your treatment to fully appreciate the powers of this miracle fruit both on your body and on your palate.
