“Nestled within its own vineyard, this property provides a genuinely tranquil escape, with bungalows opening directly onto breathtaking views of the vines and mountains, often graced by morning hot air balloons. While the rooms are spacious and well-appointed, and the staff attentive, one might find the dining options more limited here, though the close proximity and complimentary shuttle to the sister property, South Coast Winery, ensures excellent culinary experiences are never far. It strikes me as an intimate, quiet haven that truly lets you immerse yourself in the wine country setting.”
