So, naturally, you won\u2019t struggle to find new and amazing places to dine every night. Of course, a private tour of the famous vineyards and wine cellars, topped off with a bit of tasting, is an absolute must. This is wine country after all.<\/p>\n<h2>Your room<\/h2>\n<p>Each of the six luxurious rooms is elegantly decorated with contemporary furnishings. The only thing missing is any sign of pretentiousness. Sink into the ultra-comfortable beds after a dinner at one of the recommended restaurants in town (we love Reuben\u2019s \u2013 the seafood risotto really is the best around), or simply relax with a glass of the hotel\u2019s own label wine in your private patio garden.
