Weekend Getaways Packages

Luxurious Weekend Getaways

A weekend escape is the perfect pick-me-up after a hectic and frazzling work week. Here are three luxurious weekend getaways that are sure to perk up your spirits.

The Kenwood Inn and Spa, Sonoma Valley's Valley of the Moon

There is nothing like spending a weekend in wine country and staying at the top rated Kenwood Inn and Spa makes this a weekend getaway to savor for a lifetime, or better yet to repeat as often as you can afford. The Kenwood Inn and Spa was rated one of the top three resort spas in the country. The resort features gorgeous Mediterranean style villas, three lovely courtyards (each with its own pool) and fountains, ponds and incredible landscaping throughout. A garden room with a queen size bed, fireplace and luxurious bath runs between $435 and $635 per night, in my opinion well worth the splurge.

There are special weekend packages to suit every taste. If you are a food and wine connoisseur, you may want to try the "VIP wine and food tour in the Valley of the Moon". This package begins with a three course Italian seasonal sampler plate paired with top rated Sonoma wines on the first night and then a full day of wine tastings in Sonoma Valley's Valley of the Moon.

If you are looking for that perfect spa weekend (hint: this makes a great mother's day gift or mother /daughter weekend retreat), you will want to try the Kenwood Inn's Bella Vita spa package. Included in this package are two nights lodging, three seasonal sampler plates with wine, and the choice of two facial or body treatments at the incredible Kenwood spa. Contact the Kenwood Inn for pricing information for this package.

Sonoma Valley is the perfect place to enjoy an authentic California countryside experience. Sonoma is located just 30 miles north of San Francisco. There is much to do besides wine tasting in this glorious area of California.
