The Gables Wine Country Inn, Santa Rosa, California

The Gables Wine Country Inn is the perfect Wine Country Bed and Breakfast for your next visit to the California wine country. The Gables is a beautifully restored Victorian mansion right in the center of California’s spectacular Sonoma Wine Country. The Inn sits on three lush green acres with magnificent vineyard and valley views. An easy one hour drive north of San Francisco, our Sonoma Bed and Breakfast provides easy access to more than 200 wineries spanning eleven appellations, including the Russian River Valley, Dry Creek Valley, Alexander Valley, and Sonoma Valley. Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve, a giant California Redwoods Park is just twenty five minutes from the Gables, as is the scenic coastline of the Pacific Ocean. The popular town of Healdsburg is a short fifteen minute drive to the north. Complimentary wine tasting cards and maps offer our guests an unforgettable wine country experience.

Breakfast at The Gables is something special. Always fresh, always homemade, and always delicious. Your morning will begin with a fragrant blend of gourmet coffee, fresh-squeezed orange juice, followed by a fruit course such as our tropical fruit plate with Amaretto cream topping. Next comes what we’re really famous for – our just baked pastries, made from scratch every morning. You will awaken to tempting blueberry streusel muffins or fragrant cinnamon rolls. Or how about a softball-sized popover, just begging you to slather it with creamy butter and fresh blackberry jam! Your entrée will be just as extraordinary. No bacon and eggs here, folks! Our guests just love our frittatas, for example a garden vegetable frittata served with sour cream and tomatoes. We’re happy to share the recipe, if you’d care to try it at home.

Each spacious bedroom is distinctly appointed with the most tasteful antique and hand crafted furnishings and special attention to detail one might expect in this elegant Victorian mansion.

William and Mary's Cottage is the perfect choice for the couple who want to rejuvenate and rest, away from the rest of the world! Separate and private, this romantic cottage sits a short distance from the Inn, next to the (seasonal) brook. You'll want for nothing, as your cottage has a wood stove, hospitality bar with microwave, coffeemaker and fridge, whirlpool tub for two, TV and VCR with a collection of video classics, private phone line with dataport, and a luxuriously dressed queen sized bed in the upstairs loft bedroom.
