Breakfast at La Bastide Bed & Breakfast
Full Service Stays in the Dundee Hills
With harvest underway, it’s the perfect time for a getaway to the Dundee Hills. Experience a delightfully analog way to unwind and see grapes become wine in a tradition that’s been part of human life for thousands of years.
Want to make your getaway especially easy? Full-service stays let you settle into your hotel or bed and breakfast and stay awhile with onsite dining, tasting rooms and other amenities. They’re an ideal way to experience the Dundee Hills at a slower pace or minus a vehicle, without having to go far for a great meal or a glass of wine.
This Tuscan-inspired resort, along with the neighboring accommodations at The Grange, offers the ultimate indulgence, with luxurious rooms and upscale onsite dining at Anthology. Breakfast is included with each stay and prepared fresh each morning, ready to enjoy in the dining area or in your room.
Sweeping vineyard views and the onsite Four Graces tasting room give you every reason to stay and linger, even while the rest of the Dundee Hills entices you to spread your wings.
What’s more quaint than waking up to a basket of freshly prepared baked goods outside your door, then enjoying them in the quiet of your room with freshly brewed coffee, a plush robe and slippers, and a vineyard view you’ll dream about long after your departure? The Setting Inn offers all this and more.
The on-site tasting room pours The Setting Inn’s own wines, while a fire pit, reading nooks, and patio games keep the fun going throughout your stay.
On the edge of downtown Dundee sits The Dundee Hotel, with dozens of rooms designed with inspiration from the community. Local art hangs on the walls, locally made amenities are found in each room, and thoughtful touches are tucked throughout every guestroom and suite.
Head downstairs to the Wine Spa for a facial or massage, then visit one of the four onsite tasting rooms before ending your day with wood-fired fare from Wooden Heart Restaurant. Numerous other restaurants and tasting rooms are just a short walk away in town. A seasonal farmers market sets up across the street on Sunday mornings. Truly a no-car-needed locale.
Red Hills Market is the hub of downtown Dundee, and a true gathering place for locals and visitors alike. The Market Lofts are right above, offering a place to stay that’s centrally located in the middle of the action.
Start the day with hot coffee and an extensive breakfast menu, or pick up picnic items from the grab-and-go area before heading into wine country for a day of tastings and exploring. Thanks to their extensive selection of wines from numerous local producers, you can even take a tour of the Dundee Hills without leaving the market!
With tasting rooms just steps away, this is another great option for a car-free getaway.
Just a short walk from downtown Dundee is La Bastide Bed & Breakfast with its made-to-order daily breakfasts and luxurious guestrooms. The inn was modeled after hosts Mark and Elizabeth’s favorite small European inn experiences, and each room nods to wine regions throughout France. The inn is within a 20-minute drive of more than 200 wineries, but a dozen of those are within walking distance.
For guests who prefer to stay near and enjoy the beauty of wine country in the gorgeously landscaped courtyard or their guest rooms, a small on-site wine shop allows guests to experience locally made wines without leaving the premises. Whether you’re eager to stay close or adventure across the Valley, La Bastide has what you’ll need!
Balanza Guesthouse and Vineyard
Rolling vineyard views, a made-to-order three-course breakfast each morning, and gorgeous grounds to explore with views of the Cascade Range await guests at Balanza Guesthouse. The boutique winery onsite makes it easy to enjoy a bottle of estate wine from the privacy of your room or in one of the shared spaces throughout the house. Alternatively, pick up some picnic fare in town and join their outdoor vineyard BBQ Barn to enjoy a tasting flight.
Those traveling with a larger group can rent the entire guesthouse and enjoy the space all to themselves, along with that stunning homemade breakfast that guests look forward to each morning!
A Parting Thought…
No matter where you stay, in town or up in the hills, you’ll find thoughtful hosts who truly care about offering you a respite from daily life in a destination that’s even prettier than the pictures. You’ll never get tired of visiting a place as thoughtful and rooted as the Dundee Hills.
