There are any number of wonderful and unique lodging opportunities in the wine regions of northern California. One of my favorites is The Poetry Inn. The location is perfect and the inn itself is small, intimate and sublime.
‘Perched above the vineyards of the Napa Valley’s Stags Leap District, this luxurious and exclusive inn offers the discerning traveler all of the sensory pleasures of the wine country. Spread over forty acres of pristine hillsides and world-class vineyards, Poetry Inn is a world apart. Guests, those fortunate few, enjoy unparalleled service aimed at creating an atmosphere of rural calm and seductive seclusion.’ – www.thepoetryinn.com
All of the rooms are named after great writers – Walt Whitman, Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, ee cummings and Robert Louis Stevenson. The bathrooms are particularly nice, with rose limestone and marble finishes, and stunning views from the soaking tubs. The large, grand top-floor suite is pretty special, and commands the best views. The Robert Frost room has a hammock in the outdoor shower area – perfect for lounging on in fluffy bathrobes and enjoying that scenery.
Because of its size and cache, availability is hard to come by, so planning ahead is advisable.
A visit to Napa can be daunting. I suggest you either research your favorite labels and start there and / or I can provide you with an insider’s tour of some of the most exclusive wineries in the valley. Some of my favorites include Storybook Mountain Vineyards, Korbel, and Gargiulo Vineyards for starters.
