$159 - Romantic Sonoma Cabin Escape w/$160 in Dining & Wine

The Deal

Escape to Sonoma's Russian River Valley, nominated for Wine Region of the Year 2011 by Wine Enthusiast, with this getaway for two. Shaving 45% off regular rates, this exclusive deal includes one night accommodation, $100 dining credit and local wine and cheese for $159.

Named for the rare Dawn Redwoods (originally believed to be extinct for 15 million years), Dawn Ranch Lodge is nestled on 15 acres of woodlands and offers its own access to the popular Russian River. Tuck into a quaint cabin with feather beds and full bathrooms. Relaxation is aided by the absence of televisions or telephones in the rooms (but there is property-wide wireless Internet access if desired).

Once there, try a bottle of Dawn Ranch wine and a local cheese-tasting plate -- this can be enjoyed in the hotel's historic lodge, outdoor pool area or back in the cabin.

Visit over the weekend for two nights for $249 and also receive a $100 dining credit at the on-site Agriculture Bar & Kitchen featuring locally sourced produce and entrees like braised duck gnocchi or grilled wild king salmon with frisee and shaved fennel salad.

About the location: The inn is less than half a mile from downtown Guerneville and close to more than 50 wineries in Sonoma's Russian River Valley region. It is about a 1.5-hour drive from San Francisco.
