Carneros Resort and Spa

What the classifiers highlight

Set on 28 acres between Napa and Sonoma, this resort houses 100 rooms as freestanding cottages, each with its own backyard. Forbes calls it the closest high-end resort to every Bay Area airport, with Sonoma Square and downtown Napa both under 20 minutes away. An adults-only infinity pool tops the grounds, and FARM serves farm-to-table cooking beneath high A-frame ceilings.
