This is an absolute must! 15-20 minute drive south of downtown. It's cash only by the way. They make their own wine there and have a bocce ball court as well.
Can you imagine what those two would do if they have a room full of mirrors to themselves? They'd have to rename the book 50,000 Shades of Grey. Anyway, this was one of many stops on their honeymoon.
Round-Trip: 10 miles if you ride up and walk down, 2 to 3 days When to Go: High summer is the season here, but hikable weather often extends into September, when the Europeans are back at work. The Faulhorn closes in October.
James Beard semi-finalist chef Krista Kern Desjarlais has created a small menu at Bresca that really showcases local and seasonal ingredients. They also carry a great selection of wine.
My dad lives in Portland, so when I visit this is one of my favorite places to get dinner. The ingredients are locally grown and raised and delivered fresh every day.

Obviously you'll have to time it right, but if you're up for it, this place makes for a great destination wedding! They even have a chapel here that's been blessed by the local parish. Given the changing nature of the hotel, however, don't expect it to look exactly the same from year to year.
In addition to the novelty of having a giraffe occasionally peek through the windows, this hotel is an absolute stunner. It was built in the 1930s and has a wonderfully cozy charm about it. This is definitely on my bucket list.
