Wine & Roses is a hotel, restaurant, spa, and event venue — everything guests expect in a wine country retreat. It is owned by Lodi native Russ Munson and his wife, Kathryn, who wanted to create a true destination for wine enthusiasts eager to discover Lodi and its wonderful wines. This exceptional seven-acre property offers serenity, beauty and all the comforts of a luxurious home in the heart of Lodi wine country.
The hotel features 66 spacious guest rooms and suites located in a variety of settings. The historic inn, built in 1902, offers individually designed guest rooms, each with its own distinct charm.
Garden rooms boast rustic luxury, spa rooms emanate a Zen-like feel and the Signature Suites are abundant with custom details and amenities. All accommodations provide picturesque views from a balcony or veranda, along with creature comforts such as Italian linens, down pillows, Wi-Fi and premium personal care products. Some rooms also feature flat-screen TVs, iPod docking alarm clocks and plush Wine & Roses bathrobes.
In the morning, guests can awaken slowly in the comfort of their suite, or get an early start with a workout in the well-appointed fitness center or heated outdoor pool.
From a culinary perspective, Wine & Roses has always provided a memorable dining experience. In the spring of 2017, the celebrated chef Bradley Ogden became Wine & Roses’ culinary director. As one of the nation’s top chefs and prolific restaurateurs, Chef Bradley is a two-time James Beard Award-winning culinary master. He now oversees all culinary aspects of Wine & Roses including the Towne House Restaurant & Lounge, spa, pool, weddings, meetings and events, as well as the new Towne Corner Café & Market, which spotlights seasonal and sustainable cuisine with its selection of handpicked, small-batch foods and unique artisan creations.
With the addition of Chef Bradley, Wine & Roses has heightened its commitment to food and wine and now hosts Wine & Roses Cooking School, with many culinary events, cooking demonstrations and classes.
True to its name, the Towne House Restaurant is a charming Craftsman-style house with a porch and two cozy fireplace areas. The menu is seasonal and changes often, yet guests can expect to find creative dishes that pair perfectly with an impeccable wine list highlighting Lodi wines. According to Chef Bradley, “Whatever is fresh, organic and in season is what you’ll find featured on the menu.”
The homey, yet vibrant Towne House Lounge is an integral part of the restaurant — an inviting gathering place for before and after dinner drinks and conversation. Featuring a grand piano, bar and living room–style lounge, it provides nightly live musical entertainment. A delightful slate of local artists performs regularly, drawing a friendly crowd.
The Spa at Wine & Roses offers a tranquil setting with its own quiet outdoor patio under the shade of mighty oaks. Ranked number 65 in Spas of America’s Top 100 Spas of 2019 and California’s number one Wine Spa, it offers a tempting menu of body treatments, facials and more. The Waterfall Suite is a group experience room where small groups can gather to celebrate special occasions, receive treatments and enjoy the amenities of the spa. There’s also an attractive retail boutique featuring therapeutic spa and salon products and unique gifts.
When it’s time to explore Lodi wine country, the Lodi Wine & Visitor Center is located on the Wine & Roses grounds, so invaluable information, maps and advice are only a few steps away.
