Honor Mansion
Heading to wine country for your honeymoon? This is where you’ll want to stay, and it truly is a mansion. With the exception of the Angel Oak room (which features a schmaltzy, off-putting mural of cherubim), the decor here is to die for, with each room decorated differently, featuring sleigh or wrought-iron beds, hand-carved wooden dressers, gazillion thread-count linens, electric fireplaces, and private patios (some rooms have two!). Every morning, coffee and biscotti arrive at your door at a pre-requested time; that’s followed by a sumptuous buffet breakfast in the main house (guests choose between main-house rooms and free-standing cottages, including one swank one at the bottom of a historic water tower, with a rooftop spa tub). On-site: a 40-foot lap pool, tennis and basketball courts, a PGA-certified putting green, two competition bocce ball courts, croquet courts, and a quarter acre of zinfandel vines. Sorry, to keep the romantic atmosphere intact, kids under 16 are not welcome.
