"Farmhouse Inn has a bucolic vibe—some have even said Provençal—with its overgrown gardens and gracefully relaxed service. We appreciate the getaway atmosphere as a hub to exploring Sonoma, which doesn’t get as many tourists as nearby Napa Valley, but offers just as much to see and do. Owned by the Bartolomei family, a vintner clan that has been in the Russian River Valley since the early 20th century, this is a wine-lover's dream. Their arsenal includes the Michelin-starred Farmhouse Restaurant, serving an ever-changing farm-to-table menu, the family’s own Lost & Found Wines, as well as a full-service spa. The rooms are quiet with vaulted ceilings and porches that suspend out onto a forested area, adding to the relaxing ambiance."
