Trail Two · The Quiet Five Miles
Fazeli Cellars
A Persian-inspired estate where the architecture, the labels, and the hospitality all carry the founder’s heritage — and the patio views run the length of the valley.
It is the one property on the trail that does not reach for Tuscany or Provence, and the difference runs deeper than decoration: the food, the hosting style and the way the room is organised all follow from somewhere else entirely. Visitors who have started to find wine country samey tend to remember this stop longest.
