However, you won’t miss out on the hotel’s Wine & Design excursion, which offers a one-of-a-kind wine country experience that explores the architecture behind the area’s coolest wineries while you sip and snack.

The Madrona is a far cry from other wine country B&Bs you may have encountered over the years—and that’s a good thing. Designed by Jay Jeffers, the boutique hotel is sprawled across eight lush acres and is home to just 24 rooms, offering plenty of privacy for a romantic getaway. The mansion, bungalows, and carriage house are filled with antiques collected from all over the world, while the hotel’s restaurant is helmed by Michelin-starred chef Jesse Mallgren. Spend the weekend perusing the lush gardens, lounging by the pool, and sipping cocktails at Hannah’s Bar—when you’re not winery hopping, of course.

The best part of the stay is that guests wake up each morning to a multi-course breakfast and get dibs on highly coveted dinner reservations. Design aficionados will also appreciate the array of in-room amenities offered by both local and global artisans and foragers, from the servingware at breakfast to the thoughtfully made furnishings.
