We were finally able to do a
Weekend Getaway
to the beautiful
here in Southern California!
The best part
we got to stay at the fabulous
This new property is literally
"Luxury at it's finest"
And it's situated in the heart of
Which has been voted one of the 10 best
wine regions in the world!
The service at
The New Inn
is wonderful!
They made big points in my book
with a welcoming glass of bubbly
while we sat down at the desk to check in!
There was so much beauty to take in from every direction!
After check in
we grabbed our luggage
walked down the airy hall
and ....
Opened the door to our amazing villa for the weekend!!
The property consists of 5 individually designed villas.
I don't think you could find a more Covid safe place to stay.
The villas are completely private
inside and out.
The outside property is expansive.
When I travel these days
I don't want my trip to be full of worry
that I'm being irresponsible.
I want to go on with my life
in the safest way possible.
checked all my
'let's be responsible boxes!'

Back to the fun and beauty ...
I chose
Vintage Glam Villa
for the weekend!
Just look at the airy volume in the room!
And the villa
just gets better ....
There is a lovely seating area
which we actually used many times!
The welcome sparkling wine was such a treat
we bought an ice cold bottle from the front desk
and
settled in to
savor and enjoy our fabulous villa!
I was thrilled to see our room even came with fresh flowers!!
The villa also comes complete with
glamorous bathrooms!
Dual vanity sinks
an indoor rain shower
and ...
wait for it ...
an outdoor rain shower!!
Talk about showering with a view!!
The frig, coffee maker and bar sink
had us nicely set up.
There is not a restaurant on property
but a quick run to the upscale market a few minutes away
had us set up with a lovely private picnic ....
On our private 'backyard' patio!!
We had panoramic views of
wine country!
After not being able to travel since March
which may I say
feels like years ago ...
We sat in the wonderful wooden chairs
and
truly stopped
to savor and enjoy
the beautiful surroundings.
I made a special note
to press the moment deep into my heart
that these times may be hard and uncertain
but if you hold on tight
you can come up once again ....
to moments of beauty, peace and solace.
The afternoon felt enchanted.
We had fabulous sparkling wine
outside in our own private space
and
watched the sheep herd graze the hills
We were even close enough to hear the sheep!
Our panoramic view!
Later we changed for dinner
and headed into
a quick 7 miles away
to find a spot for dinner.
In California right now there is only
outdoor dining
which is always a favorite of mine anyway!
Walking along
wooden boardwalk we spotted
this beautiful restaurant!
I was so taken by the sharp design
so masks on
we put our name on the list for a table!
Ends up this darling restaurant
Small Barn
just opened up the week before!!
The space is so well done to the smallest detail!
I am always so taken when even small utilitarian
design choices are beautiful!
The restaurant felt very Covid safe as well!
Tables were of course only outside
well distanced
masks required upon entry and if you leave your seat.
We also had our temperature taken before we were shown
to our table.
I am always about design and ambiance of a restaurant first ...
but the food here had me realizing
why foodies are so passionate about
great food!
is definitely a chef driven
farm to table restaurant!
Chef Angelo Sosa
is a true passionate artist!
It was one of those truly memorable meals!
had us returning several times during our stay in
Temecula Valley Wine Country!
Our fabulous stay at the
continued in the morning!
Look at the fabulous cups!
We woke up and took our coffee outside
to the smell of the early morning dew!
When you get up early enough in
you can see all of the hot air balloons filling
the Temecula Valley skies!
And the morning got even better!
On the weekends at the
breakfast is delivered to your villa!!
And delivered in style it was!
They even put linen on the cafe table
that each villa has on the patio!
More fresh flowers for the table!
Linen napkins wrapped with twine!
Beautiful dishes!
And eating
alfresco!!
Morning made
with all of these finishing details!!
Being in the
Wine Country
always has me wanting to wear
romantic ensembles!
It's the openness and the abounding beauty
that has me wanting to play along!
has lovely public spaces as well.
They just finished an upper terrace
which will be a perfect space for events!
I believe they are also about to break ground on
a pool as well!

following along on our
beautiful getaway!

to this fabulous property!
As always my friends
