Arrival & Fireside Flavors
Check-in at the Thatcher Hotel
Slip into vacation mode the moment you arrive. The Thatcher Hotel is intimate, design-forward, and made for romance with plush beds, an outdoor pool, and a private spa. If you’re feeling tired from traveling, book a couples massage right after check-in.
Dinner at Stock Farm
Wander next door to Stock Farm, a farm-to-table restaurant, sourcing most of its ingredients from its 13-acre garden just down the road. With string lights overhead and the scent of wood-fired cooking in the air, it’s a dreamy first night dinner spot. Share a bottle of local wine, tasty appetizers and select one of their special seasonal dishes.
Evening Tip: Cozy up around the hotel’s fire pit with a nightcap from the bar.
Morning: Breakfast & Couples Massage at the Thatcher Spa
Start your morning off with breakfast at Café Poppy and then enjoy a relaxing couples massage. Let the tension melt away and set the tone for a full day of connection and calm.
Midday: Hopland Farms Deli & Picnic at Saracina Vineyards
Grab a fresh, locally made sandwich from Hopland Farms Deli. They offer hearty options with seasonal ingredients, perfect for a laid-back lunch. Then head just a few minutes north to Saracina Vineyards, a picturesque estate surrounded by ancient olive trees, hillside vines, and serene pond views. Enjoy a wine tasting in their cave cellar or shaded patio. Then choose your favorite bottle to enjoy with your picnic under the oaks.
Afternoon Stroll: Hopland Main Street & Antique Browsing
After lunch, head into Hopland’s historic Main Street. While boutique shopping options are limited, there’s a quirky tie-dye shop and a charming antique store, both worth exploring, perfect for vintage finds and nostalgic treasures. Wrap up your stroll with a visit to The Golden Pig Wine Shop for local wine intel or snacks for later.

The space is rustic yet refined, with warm lighting and a farm-driven menu that highlights locally sourced meats, seasonal produce, and sustainable practices. Expect elevated comfort food. Think perfectly grilled chops, fresh greens, and inventive small plates, all rooted in Northern California’s agricultural bounty.
Early Morning: Breakfast at Blue Bird Café

Late Morning: Campovida & Terra Savia
Spend the late morning at Campovida, a tranquil estate known for its rare Italian varietals and beautifully maintained 13-acre organic gardens. From there, continue your tasting journey at Terra Savia, where you can sample both estate wines and olive oils, produced sustainably and served in an art-filled tasting room.
Afternoon: Poolside Soaking at The Thatcher
Instead of heading back out, take the afternoon slow with a luxurious poolside session back at the Thatcher Hotel. Stretch out with a book, order a glass of wine from the bar, and take in the sunshine. This is your time to truly unwind.
Dinner: Brutocao Cellars, Pizza & Bocce Ball
End your day on a fun, casual note across the street at Brutocao Cellars’ Schoolhouse Plaza. Before heading over, make sure to order a wood-fired pizza from Stock Farm to go. Belly up to Brutocao’s wine tasting bar and grab a glass of their estate wine, and play a few rounds of bocce ball under the lights. It’s relaxed, local, and a great way to toast your final evening in Hopland.
Mid-Morning: Hotel Check Out and Steep Coffee & Tea
Pack up and check out of your beautiful hotel room and then head down the road to Steep Coffee & Tea, a modern café known for its artisan coffee, herbal teas, and laid-back vibe. Sit outside on the patio with a second cup or grab something to-go for the road. It’s a favorite local stop for a reason casual, cool, and quietly energizing.
Best Time to Go: Late spring through fall is ideal, with warm afternoons, cooler evenings, and long days perfect for wine tasting and outdoor lounging. Spring also brings wildflowers, baby animals, and blooming gardens.
Pack For: Bring lightweight, breathable clothing, sun protection, and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated between stops. If you’re planning to dip in the hotel pool, don’t forget a swimsuit. Comfortable walking shoes or sandals are a must for exploring vineyards and gardens. Evenings can cool off slightly, so toss in a light layer just in case.
Bonus Stops:
Hopland Research Center: Depending on the season, you might spot grazing lambs, wildflowers, or take a casual hike through this expansive property.
Dancing Crow Vineyards: Dancing Crow Vineyards is a family-owned winery known for its French-inspired wines, welcoming tasting room with vineyard views, and scenic patio beneath a historic olive tree. Perfect for relaxed, dog-friendly picnics, and mountain-view sipping.
