I remember my first visit and going down that long wooded road to the house. I kept thinking that every tree, no matter how big it was, looked as if it had been placed just so. And then reading later about the construction of the estate, I realized that actually, they were.

Had a fabulous time. I did the full motherlode tour, behind the scenes and all - and yes, the servants quarters are just like that. I was struck by how "nice" they were for servants quarters. Nothing fancy, plain furniture, but certainly a room I wouldn't scoff living in :) And if I had lived back then, I would have probably lived in a room like that (my blood ain't remotely blue).<br /><br />If it's been a few years for you (and it sounds like it!) - you should try to head back. My guess is that the winery and hotel weren't there the last time you went? I stayed at the hotel on site - which was WONDERFUL, but definitely a wee bit pricey. And oh yes, the stories those walls could tell.....Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.com
