This feels like a home away from home in the Wine Country, thanks to free-standing cottages and vacation homes with private fenced yards and gardens dotting the 28-acre vineyard resort. The recently renovated lodgings offer contemporary chic decor, plus cozy luxuries like fireplaces and heated bathroom floors, good for taking the chill off on cool evenings or mornings in the Carneros district. Outdoor showers and two pools will hep you cool off on sunny days. Dining is always first-rate, with new culinary gardens surrounding the indoor-outdoor restaurant and market. Exclusive to in-house guests, the Spa at Carneros provides exquisite treatments inspired by the Wine Country. The 3,000-square-foot fitness center, next to the heated lap and family pool, offers many complimentary yoga and other fitness classes, including a walk/run through the vineyards. Private instruction is also available. Dining is always first-rate, with lots of open-air seating and family-friendly options, too.
