Ahh The Carneros Inn, it’s the place of dreams. To refer to this exclusive enclave as a mere luxury weekend getaway does not do this spectacular property justice. Even though it’s only an hour outside of the city, The Carneros Inn feels like it’s a world away. The secret romantic resort boasts 84 individual cottage accommodations that are the perfect place to unwind in privacy. While the guest count can be small, the service is big. Helpful hands will guide you from the property’s Hilltop, all the way to your guest cottage, pointing out the simple yet stunning details that make The Carneros Inn a class act. Even though the valley offers a multitude of epicurian pleasures, it’s easy to while away all of your time on the property. Between gourmet dining at The Hilltop, and casual but equally excellent fare at the Boonfly Café, the trance-inducing infinity pool, the outdoor showers, the plasma screen TVs, the private outdoor patios, and the cuddle-worthy Italian linens, it’s mighty hard to leave. Our favorite activity to engage in at The Carneros Inn (besides a classic Euro facial or an award-winning Goat Butter massage) is sitting on the private patio at night with the outdoor heater on, overlooking the undulating vineyard vines and staring up at the stars. It’s total perfection.
