The Vineyard, Californian Suite

Incredibly good welcome to our stay! Check in was a brilliant experience in itself. John the concierge took us under his wing and explained the wonderful history of the hotel. Our room was stunning. Dinner, and the WINE, was exceptional!

We stayed for a night and used the spa and had the tasting menu with paired wines in the tasting room in the evening. Service is outstanding at this place throughout our stay. The tasting menu was incredible and meeting the chef and having a sommelier explain all the wines made it a really good experience.

The Vineyard Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience, blending fine cuisine with stunning views, warm hospitality, and an impressive wine selection. Located amidst picturesque surroundings, it provides a serene atmosphere perfect for a special day out. The restaurant’s ambiance is both elegant and relaxed, making it ideal for intimate dinners or gatherings with friends. One of the standout features is the expertly curated wine pairings. Each dish is accompanied by a wine that perfectly complements the flavors, making it a must-visit for wine enthusiasts. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or simply enjoy a good glass of wine, the pairing enhances every bite and takes your meal to the next level. We started with two delectable mains: the Lamb Kofta and Fine Herb Gnocchi. The lamb was tender, perfectly spiced, and paired with a robust red wine that deepened the flavors. The Gnocchi, on the other hand, was light, delicate, and bursting with freshness, beautifully matched with a crisp white wine. The combination of fresh ingredients and well-thought-out pairings truly makes every dish memorable. To finish, we indulged in the Raspberry and Lemon Panna Cotta, which was a delightful end to the meal. The tangy lemon and sweet raspberry created a refreshing balance, leaving us feeling satisfied but not overly full. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made us feel 'looked after'.
