For travelers who value both refinement and reconnection with nature, Stars and Vines is not just a destination — it’s a revelation.
The Luxury Lodge, Reimagined
Forget what you think you know about luxury lodges. At Stars and Vines, luxury is not defined by opulence, but by atmosphere. Here, it’s about the details — warm wood interiors, crisp linen sheets, fireplaces that crackle gently as the wind brushes past your window, and windows that frame the sky like a moving painting.
The lodges are private, detached havens designed to blend with the natural landscape. Whether tucked under ancient trees or perched beside vineyard rows, every structure feels organically placed — as if nature chose the spot herself.
Inside, the mood is serene. Interiors are spacious yet intimate, with handcrafted furniture, soft lighting, and neutral tones that invite calm. These are spaces made for deep sleeps, long conversations, and quiet mornings where your only alarm is the birds outside.
Stars That Tell a Thousand Stories
As night falls at Stars and Vines, the countryside transforms into a celestial theatre. With no city lights for miles, the sky bursts open in a display of stars that has to be seen to be believed.

And for those who want to dive deeper into the cosmos, the retreat offers guided stargazing sessions. Local astronomers bring powerful telescopes and knowledge that will leave you seeing the night sky in an entirely new way.

Each luxury lodges come with a curated pantry of local goods: freshly baked sourdough, seasonal fruit, artisanal jams, and the kind of butter you’ll remember forever.
