If you are ever visiting the wine country in Northern California, this is the place to eat. A gorgeous little restaurant and inn nestled in a vineyard makes you feel like you are in an Italian villa. The best place to dine is outside on the patio (weather permitting) where you will be 20 feet from a vineyard looking out on a sunset to then view the stars over dessert. Not only is the ambience lush and romantic, but the food is delectable. They offer a wide variety of specials, everything is incredibly fresh, the wine list is of course exquisite, and chef Jeff Madura will create a plate that is as artistic as it is delicious. This is one of the best dining experiences California has to offer. Located about an hour north of San Francisco right off the freeway, it is definitely worth the drive.
