The historic Gaige House + Ryokan in Sonoma Valley has a brand new look, with a serene Japanese Ryokan aesthetic reflecting the property’s emphasis on wellness.

Among the 23 guestrooms, the nine Ryokan Zen Suites feature authentic Japanese elements and amenities including yukata kimonos, keta and zōri slippers, meditative music and tasty Japanese delicacies such as green tea, saké and ice cream mochi.

Magic Hour wine pairings are hosted each evening, and complimentary nightcaps of saké, port or sherry can be enjoyed in the lounge. Gaige House + Ryokan is located on Calabazas Creek in Glen Ellen, eight miles from Sonoma and 21 miles from Napa.
