The Inn’s 3 separate buildings comprise 44 rooms and suites featuring French country decor, each with a private patio, or a balcony with lovely views. Book a room with a fireplace and Jacuzzi for a particularly heavenly respite from the workaday world.

We enjoyed drinks and a light meal in the Front Room Bar & Lounge adjacent to the famed John Ash & Co. restaurant. John Ash is known for having introduced the ‘locavore‘ approach to Sonoma County, with the creation of seasonal cuisine sourcing local ingredients.

We strolled around the new jogging path through the vineyards, with T. doing a bit of bird-watching while I enjoyed the scenery. And when morning dawned, we traveled no further than the Inn’s breakfast room, where the complimentary buffet allowed for a perfect start to another day of wine tasting amid Northern California’s myriad wineries.
The owners of Vintners Inn, Don and Rhonda Carano created a Sonoma destination garden in Healdsburg that I’ve written about many times, at Ferrari-Carano Vineyards & Winery … included in my book, Gardenwalks in California. Stay tuned for an update on the Ferrari-Carano gardens!
