Vineyards

Hotels among the vines, where the walk before dinner runs between the rows.

The best wine country was made for the slow. These are the hotels that make room in it for the dog.

A vineyard hotel is about the pace of a place: the long lunch on the terrace, the light going gold over the rows, the walk out through the vines before dinner. These are six of them, from Tuscany and the Luberon to Napa, Sonoma and the Surrey Hills, each one chosen because your dog is part of the stay there, never an afterthought.
