Farmhouse Inn is a Relais & Châteaux property in the heart of the Russian River Valley, owned by 5th-generation Sonoma siblings Joe and Catherine Bartolomei. The 25-room luxury inn features a Michelin-starred restaurant, the Wellness Barn spa, and decades-deep relationships with the region's most celebrated wineries.
A Relais & Châteaux retreat in the heart of the Russian River Valley.
Owned by siblings Joe and Catherine Bartolomei — fifth-generation Sonomans — alongside wine entrepreneur Bill Foley, the Farmhouse Inn has anchored the Russian River Valley as one of California's most distinguished small luxury properties for over two decades. The 25 farmhouse-style guest rooms each feature a fireplace, plush bedding, deep soaking tubs or steam showers, and seating areas that invite slow stays. The property's Relais & Châteaux membership reflects a service ethos that begins with deep family roots in Sonoma winemaking and the relationships those decades have built.
The on-site Farmhouse Restaurant earned its Michelin star through a menu that draws on the family's connections with the region's most exclusive winery partners — connections that translate into private tastings and curated experiences for inn guests. The Wellness Barn houses an acclaimed spa, including a sauna and treatments that draw from regional ingredients. Complimentary wine tastings, daily breakfast, an outdoor pool, and a concierge program that arranges everything from forest bathing to ocean kayaking complete the experience.
Joe Bartolomei is a fifth-generation Sonoman who, with his sister Catherine, bought Farmhouse Inn in 2001 and turned a quiet Russian River Valley property into one of California's most decorated small hotels. Even after Foley Entertainment Group took a majority stake in 2023, Joe remains the daily face of the inn — the kind of operator who still walks the property at sunset and remembers your dog's name from your last visit.
Catherine Bartolomei co-founded Farmhouse Inn with her brother Joe in 2001, applying her hospitality instincts to a property their family had known for generations. Her fingerprints are on the design language, the spa, and the deep local sourcing that earned the inn its reputation. Together with Joe, she's built one of the most personal luxury stays in Sonoma County.
