The newest Amador County Italian Villa is ready for bookings in Plymouth, California; the Napa of our local foothills. This authentic villa feels like home the moment you step on property. With the perfect blend of luxury and comfort, The Grand Reserve Inn thought of everything to frame the scenery, tantalize your taste buds, and offer a deluxe experience for an overnight stay. Take the beautiful drive out to see this special place now!The villa itself sits on a 40 acre vineyard.  Upon stepping through the portal opening you’ll immediately enter onto a quaint patio courtyard that sits perfectly between the walls of the villa. There is something special about a space like this that wraps around you and offers shelter from the elements, quiet solitude, and a romantic feel in one. Copper details, wood shutters flung open, a cobble roof and so many more detailed touches are evident. This space would make an incredible pre-cocktail greeting space for any party, a late-night dance floor, or even as additional seating that carries from this space to the adjoining two spaces. One side of the courtyard  is a European sliding glass wall and is a continuum of the indoor-outdoor living. This indoor party space, called the Great Room, truly feels like home with its use of natural light, comfy furniture, wood burning stove, and completely outfitted kitchen. The additional catering kitchen makes food service a snap here at Grand Reserve Inn!

Once again, a second full sided wall of sliding glass doors begs you onto the second, more spacious patio overlooking the 26 acres of vineyards – 19 varietals of grapes! I recommend grabbing a glass of their award-winning Barbara or a crisp glass of their Sauvignon Blanc and taking a moment in this space. Back to the patio though…this expansive patio extends onto a large grassy area with a heritage Valley Oak anchoring the perfect wedding ceremony spot. This is the largest space for an outdoor party  and by incorporating the courtyard, and  the Great Room interior, the end result with be a spectacular event! Lovely touches are found throughout such as the woven rocking chairs, some rich wood tables and chairs and accent pieces inside the villa, but we fell in love with the outside fire pit beckoning for  sitting and conversation or quietly gazing out over the vineyards – Heaven!

If you are willing to share your gorgeous party pad with your friends and family, then I may have saved the best for last in telling you about the upscale accommodations. Five suites are immaculately designed for your comfort and experience. Each spacious suite has a beautiful patio and picturesque windows with vineyard views, a fireplace, flat screen TV, stocked mini bar and the list goes on. It’s the kind of suite that begs you to stay close by, but if you’re in the mood for more, Grand Reserve Inn has its own award winning tasting room: Wilderotter Vineyard. Come out and experience this brand new wedding and event venue!
