Carneros Inn and the Orchard at the Carneros Inn

If you want a very special experience, and that is what we need during this very difficult economic time, give the Carneros Inn and the Orchard at the Carneros Inn a try. 

Developed on 27 vineyard acres between Napa and Sonoma Valleys, nestled in the heart of the Carneros wine growing region. It is just 15 minutes to either Napa or Sonoma

It is a stunning resort, with a very unique style of architecture. The architect drew from the 1930s era of wine farming to create the pastoral, peaceful, yet sophisticated setting. The Inn has 86 individual luxury cottages including 10 signature suites. There are private homes, 2400 square feet, available with master suites, 3.5 baths, full kitchens and dens. Each cottage and the homes have wood burning fireplaces, flat screen TVs, high speed internet inside and out, private landscaped patio and courtyard. The over sized bathrooms offer deep soaking tubs, an alfresco shower, heated slate floors and superb bath amenities by Red Flower. The accommodations are truly a home away from home. This resort is a Plumpjack Resort, well known in the West. 

The resort is surrounded with 6,000 acres of pinot and chardonnay vineyards, a gorgeous view from the exclusive Hilltop area which boasts an infinity edge pool, superb restaurant for alfresco dining, and the Spa. 

The Farm is an award-winning dining experience. Of course, it boasts an outstanding collection of wines, some from Plumpjack's own winery. For more casual dining, The Boone Cafe has the best hamburgers in the world. The beef is almost Kobe, it just melts in your mouth. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served there. 

The Orchard at the Carneros Inn is a Private Residence Club consisting of 17 luxury cottages and the Owner's Lounge in the center of the Carneros Inn. The Orchard is a member within the Timbers Collection. The Timbers Collection is a portfolio of luxury boutique resorts around the world. The Orchard offers a unique opportunity to own real-estate, full ownership or fractional, at the Carneros Inn with all the services and amenities of the wonderful hotel. With this ownership, you can have the best of both worlds. 

Activities abound at and around the resort. I went kayaking on the Russian River. What a beautiful river. Getaway Adventures planned the whole river experience, surprise picnic under towering Redwoods, then returned us to our put- in place.

Cycling is a wonderful way to see the area, taste the wines and just ramble along quiet country roads. 

 Whether to get- away for a long weekend, or to spend more time enjoying wine country living, Carneros Inn and the Orchard at the Carneros Inn will rejuvenate the soul, inspire your return to life.
