There’s an in-house café, a lunch and dinner restaurant on the premises, and you even have the opportunity to rent tandem bikes. The parking is free and so is the wifi.

2. Rancho Caymus Inn

Not so much an inn as a sizable ranch, this place’s classic California style was handcrafted using materials carefully dismantled and reclaimed from a 19th-century Yorkshire Ohio barn. Surrounded by a gorgeous landscape featuring vineyards and wineries, this upscale accommodation in the Napa Valley is 4mi (6.5km) from Lake Hennessey and 9mi (14.5km) from the Silverado Trail.

Make it Tuscan and make it luxe at Hotel Yountville, a quintessential wine country home anchored by a Heritage Valley oak. The European-style country-chic rooms have four-poster beds, fieldstone fireplaces, oversized sunken tubs, minibars, coffeemakers, flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi; some have patios. Amenities are many, but among them, the generous communal areas are gorgeous, the spa facilities are top-notch, the farm-to-table menu delicious, and the outdoor pool super indulgent. Batman: The Ride is a half-hour drive south.

Winery with Rooms

Make an indulgent weekend of it at Vista Collina, an upscale spa hotel surrounded by vineyards and set near several wineries, so you’ll never go thirsty. This resort really is something to behold, even by Napa standards: there are views of sun-soaked hillside vineyards, fantastic accommodation near downtown Napa, and luxurious amenities, with indulgent spa treatments in the unique surroundings of an underground estate cave.
