Whether you're planning
a romantic weekend getaway or a weeklong tasting adventure, choosing the right
place to stay in Sonoma can play a big part in defining your experience. Fortunately,
Sonoma wine country has much to offer when it comes to lodging, whether you
prefer an intimate, secluded inn near the coast or a luxurious full-service
hotel with a first –rate spa.
Location is another important consideration; Sonoma is
larger and more geographically complex than Napa, and touring one of its many
appellations can take more than a day. The town plazas of Healdsburg and Sonoma
are good starting points for exploring the surrounding regions. Each town has
its own distinct style, but both offer convenient access to tasting rooms,
restaurants and nightlife.
Honor Mansion:
Just a few minutes’ walk
from downtown Healdsburg, this charming inn blends the personal attention of a
bed0and-breakfast with the amenities and services of a small resort. The
well-manicured grounds feature a flower garden and vineyards, and guests have
access to a variety of diversions, including bocce courts, a croquet lawn and a
tennis court. Rooms in the inn’s Victorian main house are cozy and feature private
baths or showers, while the lavish suites are separate from the main house and
provide an extra touch of romance with their roomy outdoor soaking tubs,
private patios and fireplaces. Biscotti and coffee are delivered to the rooms
daily, and a full breakfast buffet is served in the inn’s communal room; it can
also be taken outdoors on a deck overlooking a koi pond.
