Cave B Inn at SageCliffe:
A visit to the Cave B Inn at SageCliffe in Eastern Washington mirrors the movie set from the film A Walk in the Clouds . Picture vineyards for acres upon acres, a breathtaking canyon where the Columbia River glistens below and 300 days of sunshine a year; this is SageCliffe. A perfect desert palette for growing grapes that become award winning wines, for raising an organic chef's garden and admiring orchard trees that line the property.

Excuse me, I must be dreaming. Did you say Destination Winery?
“Isn’t this the dilemma of visiting wineries? You finish your tasting of, say, two dozen reds, and are looking for a soft place on the floor to curl up for a nap when they politely ask you to leave? Problem solved at SageCliffe, which combines a working winery with an inn, spa, and restaurant, all perched on cliffs with striking views of the Columbia River Gorge.”

Jodi's Road Trip
"The resort sits back off the highway, and when you get there it's ashtonishing that a place like this could exist outside some private island in some faraway land that you could never afford unless you mortgaged your house. It's the most perfect place I've ever been to. "

Tucked in the middle of vineyards sit 30 guest rooms, including 15 individual "cliff houses" poised 900 feet above the river. Within a stone's throw is a cozy restaurant, Tendrils, serving Northwest cuisine. "

"Grape Escapes" "'Even the French say the best wines are created from vines that see the river,' says SageCliffe winemaker Rusty Figgins over dinner at the estate's Tendrils Restaurant. At SageCliffe, a 680-acre spread in central Washington's Columbia Valley, nearly everything sees the river, from the Sangiovese vines just beyond Tendrils' terrace to the property's Cave B Winery and each of the 30 guest rooms at the Cave B Inn."

"Inside the Columbia River Wine Country"
"You can't escape geography as you travel through Columbia River wine country. The sinewy swath carved by the huge snake that is the Columbia River is a weighty presence threading through the area's parched, rocky, and sandy soils. To the west, the white-tipped North Cascade Mountains anchor the horizon. The sky is boundless, the air startlingly fresh."

"Summer Adventures"
"It is with a certain amount of disbelief, flavored by a honey-and-pear sip of the estate's sparkling blanc de blanc wine, that you accept Cave B general manager Jacque Traweek's statement that, "We're a working farm with 30 guestrooms and we happen to have a fine-dining restaurant."
That's a little like calling Hawaii a working guava plantation with nice scenery..."

"To stand near the spectacular red cliffs above the mighty Columbia River and sip a glass of wine is a joyous adventure, and Cave B offers it all. Relax in one of the well-appointed rooms overlooking the river, with wall-to-wall glass windows, fireplaces and all the privacy you could ask for. Or linger outside in the summer and you might hear a song from the likes of Dave Mattews playing a concert at the Gorge Amphitheater just steps away.."

"No exercise classes to be found here - but plenty of opportunities to hike and mountain bike around the jaw-dropping Columbia River Gorge. The fabulous vino from the adjacent winery and several toxin-zapping body treatments, like a hot-stone scrub and aromatherapy wrap, make this the ultimate escape for a worn-out party girl."

"More than simply "allowed" at the Pacific Northwest's only fully-integrated premium winery and luxury resort, your dog is warmly welcomed. The very first delight upon arrival at Cave B, was the sight of the estate's 140 acres of vineyards, reaching up from the earth in precisely manicured rows - right to the end of the windy road that leads to the Inn..."

That's exactly what Vince and Carol Bryan, owners of Cave B Inn at SageCliffe intended.
