"Purchased in 2001 by brother-sister duo and fifth-generation Sonomans Joe and Catherine Bartolomei—who spent weekends at the former homestead established by their great-grandfather—the 84-acre inn teems with storybook-like charm. Comprised of 25 country chic rooms enveloped by abundant country-style gardens, the retreat features a Wellness Barn for facials and bathing rituals using locally sourced botanicals and herbs; an eponymous Michelin-starred restaurant; an outdoor swimming pool; and a house car for jaunts to nearby wineries and art galleries. At the nightly wine hour, sample wines from hand-selected local vintners, and after dinner, pick up a complimentary s'mores kit to roast marshmallows to perfection by an outdoor firepit." - Jennie Nunn
