There’s something romantic and special about wine country, and every wine region has its own flair – from Napa’s Mediterranean vibe to chateaus in France and fairy tale castles in Germany. While you can always make a day of wine tasting, there’s nothing like immersing yourself in all that wine country has to offer. Take a break from the tourist hubs of the cities and sleep under the stars and among the vines in some of the world’s top wine destinations. Plus, the longer you stay, the more wine you can enjoy! Here are some great lodging options for a full wine country vacation.

California
Napa Valley is synonymous with wine country in the United States. With hundreds of wineries and vineyards in the region, it’s hard to pick just one to visit.

Wine Country Inn & Cottages
St. Helena, CA

Along with being famous for wine, Napa is also famous for its steep prices. Wine Country Inn & Cottages is a surprisingly economical option – and you won’t forego any beauty or charm. Lodging options include five luxury cottages, suites, or one of 20 guest rooms and plenty of decks to enjoy the vineyard views.

“A perfect stay in the Napa region – a private cottage with a private patio with vineyard views. A gas fireplace created a cozy setting in the living area. A sprawling bathroom housed a jacuzzi tub and a steam shower. The addition of a reading nook and refrigerator were icing on the cake. The complimentary breakfast included a delicious quiche and plenty of fresh fruit and cheese.” – TripAdvisor traveler joeydomer
