The Lodge at Sonoma Resort, Autograph Collection

The Lodge at Sonoma, located in the heart of Sonoma, has been transformed into a luxury boutique resort with an intentional design that honors the spirit of Sonoma. The hotel's mission-style architecture was preserved as an homage to Sonoma's Mission San Francisco Solano, while a refreshed front drive features lush landscaping, a striking pergola, and a unique fountain with fire features. Guests are greeted by a warm, open-concept lobby with floor-to-ceiling windows revealing beautiful views of the hills beyond the property. Thoughtful design elements include handwoven Mexican textiles and Native American-influenced artwork, along with a large custom tapestry featuring a historic representation of Sonoma Square's Mission building. Upon arrival, guests receive a personal invitation to the day's events, including a visit to the "Dream Wall" found beneath a 400-year old valley oak tree. Guests can write down their personal dreams and place them in a bottle and over time, the resort will gather this biodegradable paper and add it to the soil that feeds the vineyard and trees on property.

All 182 guest rooms and suites have been redesigned to incorporate the spirit of Sonoma, most notably the intimate cottages which feature private outdoor soaking tubs and fireplaces where guests can unwind while taking in the beauty of the resort's natural surroundings. The resort's Raindance Spa has been previously ranked among the Top 10 resort spas in the United States.

To bring to life the culinary excellence wine country is known for, each onsite culinary concept underscores creativity and seasonality through partnerships with local farms. Renowned chef Michael Mina's first wine country restaurant, Wit & Wisdom, offers a warm California eatery featuring products from local Sonoma and Napa Valley artisans. Along with an inviting hearth oven, outdoor bocce ball court and a world-class wine list suited for a top Sonoma resort, Wit & Wisdom also boasts a standout cocktail program featuring libations from Camber Lay, one of the San Francisco Bay Area's most celebrated bartenders. Adjacent to the lobby is the brand-new Benicia's Kitchen, serving up farm fresh fare for breakfast and lunch before guests take on a day of adventure in Sonoma. Finally, perhaps the most unique concept at the resort is High Horse Bar, a horse trailer turned poolside bar that pokes good-natured fun at its fellow wine country city, Napa. Mixology-forward, Instagram-worthy cocktails are free-flowing for guest to savor while enjoying the reimagined pool deck with modern fire pits.
