We love us some wine travel—the tastings, the food, the activities, and especially the long naps. That’s why it’s important to find just the right place to stay wherever we go wine-tasting in the world, and why HotelChatter contributor Eric Rosen fills us in on a boozy B&B he visited on a recent trip to Chile.

Since it’s #WineWednesday, we got to thinking about some of our recent wine adventures including a visit to Chile’s famous Colchagua Valley, where we happened upon a little Relais & Chateaux property at one of the area’s best-known wineries: Casa Lapostolle. ]]> EricRosen 2011-06-08T14:18:37-05:00 Yountville: Inside the Hotel Yountville, in the Thick of Napa Valley http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/3/8/11924/11324 <![CDATA[<p> <object id="flashObj" width="486" height="412" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0"><param name="movie" value="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="flashVars" value="@videoPlayer=816430338001&playerID=4862856001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAAE7CVnI~,RUihgoZlRJi9tuTl58qaAut8tr6OMl2M&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true" /><param name="base" value="http://admin.brightcove.com" /><param name="seamlesstabbing" value="false" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="swLiveConnect" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashVars="@videoPlayer=816430338001&playerID=4862856001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAAE7CVnI~,RUihgoZlRJi9tuTl58qaAut8tr6OMl2M&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" width="486" height="412" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" swLiveConnect="true" allowScriptAccess="always" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></object> <p> It&#146;s been a while since we hit the Valley. <b><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotels/city/us/CA/Napa">Napa Valley</a></b>, that is.

When we hit up South Florida, we like it hot. But with 5,000 bottles of wine, the Wine Vault at the Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale has to be kept cool--55 degrees, to be precise. So, to keep vino fans warm while they taste wines or enjoy a private dinner in the vault, the hotel has come up with a rather glamorous solution: faux-fur stoles.

The stoles are available as loaners for special evenings like the $50-a-head Flight of Six Wines tasting and the Five Course, Wine-Paired Culinary Journey, which is $125 per person.
