Lush gardens surround ivy-covered bungalows at this sexy 25-room inn, designed to re-
semble a Mediterranean château. Two hot tubs (one with a waterfall) and an on-site spa
make it ideal for lovers, boring for singles. No kids. Book an upstairs balcony room.
WHAT'S CRUSH?
Crush is autumn harvest, the most atmospheric time of year, when the vine's leaves turn
brilliant colors and you can smell fermenting fruit on the breeze. Farmers throw big
parties for the vineyard workers to celebrate their work. Everyone wants to be here.
That's why room rates skyrocket. If you can afford it, come during autumn. To score party
invitations, join your favorite winery's wine club.
