Situated on 92 acres of vineyards in beautiful Russian River Valley wine country, just 60 miles north of San Francisco, Vintners Resort offers leisure and business travelers alike a central location to relax, rejuvenate and explore and visit Sonoma County’s spectacular vineyard, coastal, and mountain destinations. We have been rated one of the best hotels in Sonoma County.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
My husband I had a great stay at Vintner’s Resort. It’s a beautiful property with friendly staff, great food, and nice rooms. We were given welcome drinks, cookies with turndown service every night, and they have complimentary wine tastings in the lobby in the early evening. The general location of the resort provides easy access to Healdsburg, the Russian River Valley and Calistoga/Napa. While right near the freeway, we didn’t hear a lot of road noise - they have pretty great natural buffers. I would definitely stay here again - I felt like I got a lot of bang for my buck, considering the prices in fall for other resorts I and around Sonoma/Napa.

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!

We stayed at the Vintner's Inn by mistake - and couldn't have been happier! The rooms were lovely - ask for one overlooking the fountains. There was even a small room with tea all day long where we played cards in the evening and a fireplace (It rained the whole time we were there so the warmth was welcome.)The front desk staff was extremely courteous and helpful. The food in all the restaurants was outstanding. We will go back in warm weather to experience the rest of the amenities!

The vineyard view rooms are quite nice, the beds are not very comfy but the rooms are updated and have lovely views. We have stayed here several times in the past 2 years and each time as we are leaving I am angry about the the resort fee. $30 day gets you some nice beverages upon check in ($20 value?) and cookies during turndown. Upon asking we were also told it includes parking, which is plentiful, use of the pool - I've never been to a hotel that doesn't include the pool in the room rate but the jacuzzi is only for spa use. Guests are unable to use the luggage carts due to liability issues, which oddly was not an issue when more covid protocols were in place. This is probably one of the nicer hotels in the area for the price but calling it a "resort" is a bit of a stretch. In short, I will probably be back when there is a 50% off deal and I will still be unhappy about the resort fee.

I was very pleased with the call ahead of my arrival! I explained that I was using crutches after surgery and the gentleman upgraded my reservation to a suite since there are no elevators on property and the room I booked would have been upstairs. This was stellar and I'm so appreciative! Five star service right there! We arrived early at 3pm (I had requested 4pm) and our room wasn't ready until 5pm. Not so stellar. We had an unfortunate event of two blackberry drinks spilling on my brother-in-law at dinner (the server was horrified and handled himself professionally.) The GM came by, apologized, said he wanted to comp drinks or dessert in addition to cleaning the jacket. He did not comp drinks or dessert (at least not on the bill we signed.) Not necessary but also not stellar. When we checked out, the young gentleman (who said he was less that a week on the job) told me that he would send the folio as soon as a manager checked out a credit of ~$40. I wonder if this is a credit that was promised to us at dinner after the blackberry incident. Don't know because I still have not received my final bill. I tried using the Contact Us link on the website but it keeps throwing errors. I really want to love this place! The prices are high and I would expect a higher level of service. I'm guessing they'll get there, but they were off their game this weekend.

What a beautiful resort. The room was large and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious. Everyday we had new towels and the turndown service at night always left delicious cookies on the pillows. We ate breakfast in the restaurant and lite dinners in the bar area. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. We even took the 1+ mile walking path through the vineyard everyday. The staff went out of there way to make sure all was right. All in all a great location and a great place to stay.

We stayed for 2 nights in the junior suite with a vineyard view. It was spacious and had a lovely outdoor patio where we enjoyed sunny breakfast both mornings. The spa is worth the splurge as every detail has been considered. We knew we were in for a treat when the robed patrons joined the relaxation room singing the praises of their masseuses! The outdoor heated pool makes for a nice transition post-massage and pre-nap time. If you are worried about proximity to the highway, don't be. It's quite and serene on site. The FOOD in general was phenomenal. DO go to John Ash & Co for at least one meal. :)
Check in and check out were a breeze. Every person we encountered was thoughtful, professional, helpful, and kind.
All of these pros far out way the one minimal flaw- the artwork and design aesthetic is a bit...confusing. :) The exterior of the buildings are beautiful, but the interior design is a hodgepodge which makes taking the perfect selfie a bit difficult. Lol We just spent 5 minutes trying to figure out which design style to call it. It misses the mark, but is ultimately comfortable and makes for a relaxing stay!

Arrived from Silicon Valley with high expectations to celebrate my 65th Birthday. Not only did Micah work some magic with my room one week in advance (moved me to upper floor), when I arrived I was treated like a long-lost Family member. The room was absolutely stunning: vaulted ceilings and overlooking vineyards and many, many nice amenities complimentary (soft-drink options in mini fridge and split of wine). Micah is an asset to your staff!!! Nancy B.

While the resort was overall nice, we ,a number of billing errors, added charges that a month later we are still trying to get resolved. One of our credit cards was "credited" back almost $500, which we have NEVER received, while the same charge was placed on another card without our authorization. Additionally, we have charges that we NEVER made from John Ash and Co, one of the restaurants on their property. I've attempted to speak with the manager a number of times. He said he would "look into it" and get back to me. He left 1 voicemail and now more than 5 messages later I have never received a response.
While smoking is not allowed in the rooms, we were not successful in reaching someone at the 24/7 desk when our room was overwhelmed with marijuana smoke. Although we wound up outside for quite some time, to let our room air out, the management seemed not to care. We quite sometime outside in the middle of the night due to the overwhelming amount of smoke. When we reported it, it seemed like it was a regular occurrence.
Super disappointed and the lack of responsiveness from management.

We were there in March and it seemed it was just getting started so I don't know if it is finished or not, but it did not bother us. You might want to call them and inquire. It is a lovely place and we really enjoyed our stay.
Good Morning, I'm so sorry but Vintners Inn is not a pet friendly property. We have many guests who specifically check to make sure we don't allow pets because of allergies. Certified service animals only. There are several pet friendly properties in this area, check Sonoma County Tourisms website for that information. Sue
