Fodor's Expert Review The Inn at Grace Winery

With a classic stone house at its center, this historic property with multiple buildings—part of William Penn's land grant to the Hemphill family—carves out a tranquil 35 acres of Brandywine Valley countryside, including a winery. Among the rooms in the 1734 Quaker farmhouse (part of the main house) is the Dormer, once a hospital for the Underground Railroad. Rooms in the elegant 1815 Georgian addition have high ceilings and traditional furnishings; some have fireplaces. Of the 11 \"cottages,\" which are in three buildings, most have kitchens and fireplaces. Both fun and relaxation are bountiful here, thanks to the on-site winery (tasting room is generally open Friday through Sunday; tastings sometimes take place in larger Vineyard Barn) and an honor bar, billiards room, library, fitness room, bocce court, and outdoor pool. Breakfast is served in the dining room or on the outdoor patio, both of which overlook the resident horses and goats.
