$295 -- Luxe Sonoma Escape w/$150 Dinner for 2, Reg. $620

The Deal

Nestled in the shelter of towering redwoods, the peaceful Applewood Inn was named one of the West's Best Small Inns by Sunset Magazine. Travelzoo has negotiated an exclusive $295 deal for two that shaves more than 50% off a package that includes a five-course dinner, breakfast, wine, a spa credit and more.

Upon check-in, sip sparkling wine or mulled vin brule and snack on biscotti before tucking into a Junior Suite at the retreat "ideally suited for the wine country" (Conde Nast Traveler). These rooms measure more than 500 square feet with fireplaces, and many offer a spa tub, two-person shower, and a private patio or balcony.

Dine at the Restaurant at Applewood -- which earned a Michelin star for the second consecutive year in 2012 -- in the "barn-like dining room, complete with a vaulted and beamed ceiling and a soaring stone fireplace" (Michelin Guide). Enjoy California cuisine "interpreted with French techniques and Italian accents" with a five-course chef's tasting menu, which can feature dishes like pan-seared diver scallops and a cocoa-nib-crusted rack of lamb.

Relax with a $75 spa credit toward a 60-minute couples massage (regularly $200) and the "wine passport," offering tastings for two to as many as 25 local wineries.

Also available: Make it a two-night stay for $475 (arrive Sunday, Tuesday or Wednesday) or $575 (arrive Thursday-Saturday) with the above extras.

About the location: The inn is one mile from downtown Guerneville and close to several wineries in Sonoma's Russian River Valley region, nominated for Wine Region of the Year 2011 by Wine Enthusiast. It is about a 1.5-hour drive from San Francisco.
