The house
Woodside CollectionBrickwork vineyard estate
The estate channels an Old World country manor, with cottage clusters set between redwood groves and working cabernet vines.
“Its lush gardens are traversed by winding pathways, and its brick-accented, Tudor-inspired architecture suggests somewhere far more Old World than upstart Napa.”
What it’s good at
Notable
Eight acres of landscaped grounds with two heated pools and a regulation bocce court.
Listed
Culinary gardens that supply seasonal produce beside rows of Whitehall Lane cabernet vines.

Also in AFAR.
You'll wake up to 360-degree vineyard views hugging the property and end your evening with crackling fireplaces and private hot tub patios.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Downtown St. Helena sits two minutes north on Main Street, surrounded by historic wineries and vineyard tasting rooms.
The rooms
Most rooms have brick fireplaces, and select suites open onto private terraces with outdoor hot tubs overlooking the vines.
The pools and spa
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated swimming pools and hot tubs sit beside stone walls, and garden treatment tents host massages among the redwoods.
Restaurant
Harvest Table
The kitchen gathers ingredients from five on-site culinary gardens, serving meals beside a brick hearth or out on garden terraces.
At the table
The Great Room bar serves drinks beneath twenty-foot ceilings, with fireside tastings hosted around a cobblestone hearth.
How it began
Brick mason Richard Geyer founded the inn in 1975, hand-laying over two million bricks for its cottages, paths, and chimneys.
