Farmhouse Inn, California

Description: Farmhouse Inn

The main house is circa 1876 is home to the restaurant and eight guestrooms are found in a row of cottages across from the gravel driveway. Dating back to 1899 these former workers cottages have been transformed into havens of sumptuous modernitiy with feather beds, luxurious European linens and immaculate white-tiled bathrooms (with double jetted tubs). Most rooms have saunas and fireplaces and two suites have a sizable sitting area. Relax by the pool and pamper yourself with a massage. The hotels location offers a great base for exploring the Russian River vineyards.

In the restaurant each plate that Chef Steve Litke, Sous Chefs Joe Giunti and Neil Corsten creates tells a story about Sonoma County. Its incredible diversity of agriculture and artisan producers, its rich heritage of Italian, French and Mexican immigrants and its consistent focus on organic and sustainably farmed fruits and vegetables enable thier chefs to create delicious, wholesome and intensely flavored dishes that rely entirely on what is seasonal and at its peak. In spring it's all about local, wild salmon from the coast- half an hour away, baby lamb from the farmer up the road, pea shoots from the chef's garden and fava beans from the neighbour, summer brings its hoards of heirloom tomatoes and herbs from the garden down the road and fresh cheeses from the goat dairy a few minutes away. Each season has it's own roster of flavors, textures and even colors.
