Winemaker plaza sanctuary
Six rooms sit above a working tasting lounge, fronting the historic plaza in nineteenth-century style.
What it’s good at
Notable
Estate wine tastings and ancestral rooms rooted in multi-generational Sonoma valley history.
Listed
Hand-carved woodwork, inlaid walnut flooring, and ornate dentil molding throughout the inn.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
From the inlaid-walnut floors to the ornate dentil molding, every painstaking detail recalls the era of Edith Wharton.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Sonoma Plaza is just outside, with the historic Mission San Francisco Solano one block away.
The rooms
Fireplaces and double whirlpool tubs anchor each room, and private balconies open directly over the square.
Bar
Zina Lounge
Tasting flights pour small-lot family vintages alongside artisan cheese and charcuterie boards.
At the table
Armchairs flank the salon's central fireplace, and heated tables outside look straight across Sonoma Plaza.
How it began
Winemaker Steve Ledson built the property in 2003, naming all six rooms after his family's ancestors.
