Hot Tub, Wine, Dine, Sleep (Repeat)

We just read about the DeLoach Winery Guesthouse, a new hot-tub-and-pool-equipped villa in the heart of wine country, available now for all your weekending needs.

Located in the former house of Cecil DeLoach, this is where you'll go for an overnight retreat from the city. Equipped with three suites, you may wish to bring along some coupled friends (or you can rent out the whole thing for a grand). Here, you'll find all the comforts of home—assuming you live somewhere with a 1,000-bottle wine library, and a private chef who will make you steaks for dinner and locally grown eggs for breakfast.

DeLoach Vineyards, a Demeter USA certified Biodynamic® estate vineyard and garden, is among an elite group of sustainable winegrape growers committed to farming in parallel with the Earth's natural cycles. This 17-acre estate is one of only 65 wineries or vineyards in the United States to achieve Demeter certification.

But you're not coming here (only) for the private chefs and vineyard views: there's also a swimming pool (just in time for summer, when the temps can get about 20 degrees higher here than they are in the city). And, the coup de grâce, a fully fledged hot tub, ready to help you and your guests ease those aching muscles.

There's even a new contest (in conjunction with Organic Gardening Magazine) where you can enter for a guest house weekend getaway.
