Sonoma wine country lodging deal

Fall and winter is ideal timing for a Sonoma wine country getaway. Sipping the robust Zins at Ravenswood, sampling the fresh-pressed olive oils at B.R. Cohn, and driving quiet, leaf-strewn back roads. Want one more reason to go? This is such a great Sonoma Valley lodging package, we thought it was a misprint: $75 a night (weekends excluded) at the 16-room Sonoma Creek Inn, with the “Stay Longer, Dream More” package. Guests who want to “stay longer” get an even better deal: a two-night stay is only $145 per room ($72.50 per night for two people).

Besides amenities like free wireless Internet, in-room refrigerators and cable TV, many rooms have private outdoor patios or porches -- just the thing for relaxation after a busy day exploring the wine country. Winery tasting passes offered will vary from the well known— Buena Vista to Ravenswood, and B.R. Cohn— to the more surprising: Paradise Ridge, Charles Creek, Ty Caton, Bartholomew Park, Deerfield Ranch, Roche, Ledson, Schug and Cellardoor.

The inn is in Sonoma, on Boyes Boulevard (near the Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa).

Details: Valid Sunday through Thursday nights from Nov. 1, 2009—April 15, 2010, the package is priced at $75 (for two people) and includes one night in a queen guest room, complimentary wine tasting passes for local wineries, and an upgrade to the best available room upon check-in. The package excludes holiday and special event periods and is based upon availability. The package must be requested at the time of booking.
