The hotel is perfectly situated amongst the vineyards, allowing easy access to everything we wanted to see in wine country. The rooms were big, spacious, and had been updated not too long ago, providing great amenities. The service was top-notch, with a very friendly staff. The dining experience, featuring regional jams, was a pleasant surprise. However, the price could be a bit steep for some, and the additional facilities were not as extensive as expected.
