After dining on the vibrant, seasonal flavors of the region in our open-air restaurant, experience a few of the wine tasting rooms just blocks from the property, enjoy a relaxing spa treatment at The Lavender Barn, or take a dip in our outdoor pool, followed by stories and s’mores gathered around a firepit.
