Appellation Lodi - Wine & Roses Resort and Spa

Appellation to Open Hotels in California, Utah - AFAR

"This six-and-a-half-acre property is a modernized refresh of the former Wine & Roses Resort and Spa, offering 66 rooms and suites (210–1,025 sq ft) and an overhauled dining program that emphasizes locally grown produce. The on-site restaurant was relaunched to spotlight ingredients like baby artichokes and to celebrate underrated regional bottles such as old-vine zinfandel and sauvignon blanc; plans call for a chef’s counter where guests can watch the kitchen team (occasionally including Charlie Palmer) at work. The redesign upgraded technology and interiors while keeping a strong focus on local wine and farm-to-table cuisine." - Matt Villano
