The Spa at MacArthur, the Pool, and the Fitness Center are currently undergoing a rejuvenation and the Pool and Fitness Center will remain closed until September 29th. The Spa will continue to provide an array of facial and massage treatments. All three of our culinary experiences, Layla, a Mediterranean-meets-Sonoma inspired restaurant — the cocktail-forward Bar at MacArthur and The Porch coffee shop will continue to provide seasonal dining with farm-fresh ingredients.

A Harvest Celebration In Sonoma

Valley of the Moon Vintage Festival

The official celebration of the 198th grape harvest season is upon us. Join locals, visitors, and wine-lovers alike as the Valley of the Moon Vintage Festival begins with a reception and wine pairing dinner on October 7th, then continues at the Sonoma Plaza throughout the day on October 8th. This year’s daytime celebration kicks off at 10am with the traditional “blessing of the grapes” in front of the Historic City Hall. The day continues with live music, wine tasting, food, grape stomping, and a robust arts and crafts fair.
