Headed to Wine County? Stay at The Lodge at Sonoma

In early April, my fiance and I were thinking about where we could go for the long Memorial Day weekend. After much deliberation, we settled on the Napa and Sonoma Valley regions of Northern California. We ultimately chose a hotel in Sonoma because the town is much less crowded than Napa, yet offers a lot of the charm and beauty found in Napa Valley.

You must visit the hotel spa when you stay at this hotel. The Raindance Spa includes massage rooms, outdoor mineral water pools and a relaxation room. Although massages are a bit pricey, they include day use of spa amenities which makes it worth the price.

When you plan a visit to Sonoma Valley, consider staying at this hotel. We had a blast. I am positive you will too.
