In the evening you can warm yourself by the wood-burning chiminea under a canopy of stars, absorbing the peace and contentment this area is noted for. And when you’re ready to leave this idyllic retreat, you’re less than five minutes away from fine restaurants and a plethora of excellent wineries and tasting rooms.
