Book a room
Hidden in West Berkshire is a Californian secret.
A place to indulge the palate and refresh the spirit. Where gastronomes and wine lovers indulge and the curious enjoy a new and very different experience.
It's part of Sir Peter Michael's mission, to spread the Californian love of service, generosity and world beating wines.
And to share his collection of some of the finest vintages from all over the world. Thirty thousand at last count and one of the most celebrated cellars in the country.
And because the best company wine can keep is food, our menu delights and impresses too.
Some have called our chef the 'champion of modern French cooking,' which might tell you everything you need to know for a culinary experience well worth the trip. And now named Restaurant of the Year 2012 by Decanter and Laurent Perrier, you're certainly in for a treat.
So why not stay?
We want you to enjoy our food and wine so much we added a 5-star hotel and Spa. Then we filled it with everything you'd expect for a comfortable night, and some things you might not.
Like one of the finest private art collections this side of Hearst Castle.
Only a short drive away from Highclere Castle, The Vineyard provides the perfect hotel destination for Downton Abbey fans and the historically curious alike.
A feast for the eyes as well as the palate, and a pick me up for the soul.
There's a lot to be said for California dreaming.
"Here's to the corkscrew, a useful key to unlock the storehouse of wit, the treasury of laughter, the front door of fellowship and the gate of pleasant folly."
