Whether you are a novice epicurean or someone passionate about fine wines, there is something for every palate to enjoy in California's wine country. Both Napa and Sonoma counties offer hundreds of wineries to enjoy, as well as galleries, boutiques, gourmet cooking classes, hot air balloon rides, hiking and biking adventures, and much more. These two wine country counties also offer some of California's top bed and breakfasts.
If you plan on enjoying the wines and the many other attractions of Sonoma County, a stay at the Inn at Sonoma is a must. The inn is just a two-block walk from the historic city plaza, and just minutes from dozens of wineries. The romantic guest rooms include a fireplace and many have a jetted spa tub. There is a rooftop hot tub, as well, where you can enjoy a night sky filled with stars. The innkeepers serve a full breakfast, as well as afternoon wine and refreshments. Freshly baked cookies are available throughout the day. The staff at this Sonoma bed and breakfast are happy to suggest activities and help their guests plan their days.
Also in Sonoma County is the Healdsburg Inn, a historic bed and breakfast located right on the town's main plaza. Guests need only step outside to enjoy summer concerts or watch the yearly holiday tree lighting ceremony. While this wine country bed and breakfast maintains many original architectural features, the dcor is done in a romantic, contemporary style. Many guest rooms have a fireplace and jetted spa tub or perhaps a clawfoot tub. Guests are treated to a full breakfast and afternoon wine and hors d'oeuvres, as well as evening turndown service with fine chocolates. Healdsburg is a stunning town, set along the Russian River, offering travelers everything from wineries to kayak trips.
Napa County boasts hundreds of wineries and plenty of great bed and breakfasts. The Blackbird Inn, located right in downtown Napa is a perfect example. The historic California Craftsman boasts rich woodwork and an enormous stone fireplace -- the focal point of the inn's cozy common area. The front door is another unique feature, with its dark woods and stained glass. There are eight guest rooms, each individually decorated with either a king or queen bed. Most of the rooms include a fireplace and private patio or balcony. Several also have a jetted tub. The rates include treats throughout the day, including full breakfast, freshly baked cookies and afternoon refreshments. Napa is world-famous for its wines and wineries, and you are just minutes from dozens of wineries at this Napa bed and breakfast.
Another option for travelers to the Napa Valley is the village of Yountville, which is close to wineries (including the famed Domaine Chandon). Also close by are hot air balloon rides and one of the nation's most prestigious restaurants, French Laundry. You'll find a bit of France everywhere you go in Yountville, especially at Lavender, a boutique bed and breakfast that's a bit like a visit to Provence. The luxurious guest rooms boast fireplaces and private bath with jetted spa tubs. One room has its own private patio complete with an outdoor hot tub. In the mornings, a full breakfast is served in the enclosed veranda. The innkeepers also present afternoon wine and hors d'oeuvres, as well as offering home-baked cookies during the day.
Maison Fleurie is another wonderful Napa County bed and breakfast. This French country-inspired retreat is also located in Yountville, just minutes from fine wineries, restaurants, boutiques and more. The romantic guest quarters are located in several locations, such as a restored bakery building. Many rooms include fireplaces and jetted tubs. The innkeepers pamper guests with luxurious linens, fluffy bathrobes and fine European bath products.
