Feels like in an Italian countryside. This resort was so perfect for few nights of solitude and while enjoying wine tasting in the area. Such an enjoyable walk around the vineyard trail and the bursting colors so magical. This is definitely a fun and romantic beautiful getaway, can’t wait to come back soon.

First, let me refer you to Debbie A’s complimentary review in October, 2020. All of the positive features are correct. The purpose of this brief review isn’t to negate the positive but to alert visitors of unnecessary charges. Some might quibble over my objection to the egg- centric breakfast offerings, with no yoghurt and no pastries/breads for which the pastry chef is known. There is an oatmeal/quinoa blend and a lackluster granola. This isn’t the problem. When paying the first night’s deposit on a discounted rate of $318, we received confirmation with a total of $398–a 25% increase. The 14% taxes were included but also a resort fee of $30 + 14%!!! When questioned why there was a resort fee for services not rendered owing to Covid restrictions, the receptionist claimed that it covered free parking (of which there is no shortage), freedom to walk along the gardens (which you do anyway to get to your room), use of the heated pool, a half bottle of wine and three soft drinks in the minibar, WiFi, BUT no newspapers or exercise room. (Newspapers could have been provided by delivering them wrapped, like the bathrobes). All of these were included when it was Vintners Inn. Apparently changing the name to Vintners will cost you $35 for the same amenities. NOTE: Just because you call yourself a resort doesn’t make you one. To their credit and because we asked, we were allowed to check in at 2 pm.

A wonderful stay over several days while in Sonoma wine country. They have some nice specials right now that should be taken advantage of. The grounds are stunning, even though the Bocce Courts and Asia are closed. Also their all day restaurant is closed. This did not stop us from having a great stay. Pool area is open and very quiet during the week. Walking thru the vineyards each morning is very cathartic; we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. The rooms are older, as this resort has been here for a long time. With that being said, they are still wonderful, particularly the bed! Nicely stocked mini bar also included with your stay. Our Roman tub was the bomb. We used it as much as possible. John Ash & Co. (see separate review) is part of the complex and should not be missed for either happy hour or a wonderful dinner experience. This resort is directly off Hwy 101, but we did not hear any noise while in our room. It is centrally located just north of Santa Rosa and is very convenient to wineries for visits and tastings. We highly recommend this establishment and hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
