The Carneros Inn

A day spent at the Spa at the Carneros Inn is pretty much the easiest way to feel a million miles away, while only driving a scant 45 minutes from San Francisco. The spa is set among the resort's many acres of vines, orchards and farmland and manages to utilize so much of what is harvested and flows nearby. In their treatments they take advantage of what grows--everything from olives to apricots to herbs and flowers, as well as minerals that populate the soil (and produce delicious wines), the healing capabilities of grapes, and the soothing properties of dairy, including milk and goat butter.
