My wife reserved our weekend stay in the Chateaux Chardonnay cottage at Relax and Wine Down as a surprise gift to me for our 40th anniversary. The cozy house was very clean and well furnished for comfort and all our "at home" needs. We met Jackson, one of the owners, at the cottage, who was absolutely "Texas friendly" and immediately attended to Susan's request for more coffee. He even delivered a tray of delicious snacks personally to our door. Jackson mentioned there were guests arriving at the other cottages later, and a party of cheerleaders had reserved The Lounge for that evening. The Lounge was approximately 15-20 feet from our quarters. Amazingly, we never heard or saw any one else in that quiet complex. Only birds during the day and tree frogs at night. The golf cart we rented, "Shorty", took us quickly to and from the Los Pinos Ranch restaurant and winery through the vineyard rows and fields. We also drove the golf cart far enough away from the building lights to gaze at the numerous bright stars at night. One of the "Pro's" to Relax and Wine Down is its location - out in the middle of nowhere, many miles away from the noise and chaos. One of the "Con's" to Relax and Wine Down is its location - out in the middle of nowhere, many miles from professional emergency services. The Relax and Wine Down retreat is incredible! We will certainly return to rejuvenate our souls with country peace, and excellent food and wine at the Los Pinos Ranch restaurant. read more
