The best wine hotels do two things at once: they put you among the vines and they pour what the land produces. Our editors shortlist for both — a serious cellar and a table worth lingering at — in places where the wine carries a sense of where it came from.
In Piedmont, Tenuta Montemagno Relais & Wines occupies a noble residence dating to 1563, set among its own vineyards in the UNESCO-listed Monferrato hills. It is a working winery: Barbera, Grignolino and Ruché grown on the estate, poured at cellar tastings and matched at the gourmet restaurant. In southern France, Jardins Secrets hides fourteen rooms behind the walls of an 18th-century coaching inn in Old Nîmes, with cloistered gardens, a Roman-bath spa and the wine country of the southern Rhône at the doorstep.
