Carneros Inn Napa

The summer has flown by mostly with work so we decided to sneak off for a few days of R&R and headed to Napa.

Carneros-Vineyard-NapaWe stayed at the Carneros Inn, a lovely low-rise development that is part of the Plumpjack group of properties.  These include some pretty swanky locations including Aspen, St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands and Castello di Casole in Tuscany.

Carneros-Vineyard-Napa-1Carneros Inn occupies 27 acres centrally located between Napa and Sonoma. It is a short drive to the town of Napa as well as dozens of top-flight wineries. We booked a Vineyard Suite, a two bedroom, two bath unit separated by a spacious outdoor terrace and overlooking the surrounding countryside and vineyards. The architectural style of the Carneros Inn is what I call “industrial farmhouse” and the buildings have a sort of modern barn appearance. The landscape is Mediterranean in flavor and one can meander long paths dotted with Italian Cypress, olive trees, and rosemary tumbling over rustic stone walls.

Carneros-Vineyard-Napa-2Our suite was stylishly furnished with a purple mohair sectional sofa, Saarinen table and tulip chairs, taupe wool carpets, a Corbusier chaise done in hide and modern lighting.
