Best Wine-Estate Hotels Worldwide
From the Tuscan Brunello-and-Chianti castello cluster to the Bordeaux-and-Loire château circuit and the Cape-Winelands-and-Napa-and-Mendoza working-estate register.
From the Tuscan Brunello-and-Chianti castello cluster to the Bordeaux-and-Loire château circuit and the Cape-Winelands-and-Napa-and-Mendoza working-estate register.
The wine-estate luxury hotel is the structural countryside-anniversary-and-honeymoon anchor. The working primary clusters are: the Tuscan Brunello-and-Chianti countryside (Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco, Castello Banfi, Borgo Santo Pietro), the Cape Winelands (Delaire Graff, La Residence Franschhoek, Lanzerac), the Napa-and-Sonoma California cluster (Auberge du Soleil, Meadowood, Carneros Resort), the Mendoza-and-Cafayate Argentinian wine cluster (Cavas Wine Lodge, Patios de Cafayate), and the Bordeaux-and-Loire French château circuit (Cordeillan-Bages, Château de la Treyne).
The wine-estate luxury hotel cluster is anchored by the structural Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco flagship (the Massimo-Ferragamo-owned 5,000-acre Brunello estate), the Delaire Graff Estate (Laurence Graff's ultra-luxury Stellenbosch flagship), the Auberge du Soleil Napa flagship (Three-Michelin-Star), the Castello Banfi Tuscan estate, the La Residence Franschhoek (Liz Biden's Royal Portfolio Cape-Winelands flagship), and the structurally distinct working-vineyard hotel cluster.
Editors picked the structural wine-estate luxury hotel anchors. Choose by working region, Tuscany for the working Brunello-and-Chianti castello cluster, the Cape Winelands for the working Stellenbosch-and-Franschhoek estate cluster, Napa-and-Sonoma for the working California wine-country cluster, Mendoza for the working Argentinian Malbec alternative, and Bordeaux-and-Loire for the working French château circuit.
