a month agoThis estate was spectacular! It was so good we ended up coming back 3 times during our stay at Clouds Estate. At first we did the tasting, which is super fun on the outside patio overlooking the vineyards. The wine was delicious! We also got the charcuterie appetizer with the tasting which ended up being so much food we skipped lunch.

3 weeks agoThis is definitely a must-visit place. Everything we ate at the restaurant was absolutely delicious. I also highly recommend doing the wine tasting — totally worth it. Make sure to take a little walk around the property as well. The hotel part looked beautiful too. The only downside was the slow service. Also, smoking is not allowed in the area where we were seated. We’re planning to try the Japanese restaurant inside on our next visit!

2 months agoWe stayed here for 4 nights and it was fabulous. We had a garden lodge with its own pool, however we didn’t use it as it was most my in the shade during our stay so we went up to the large pool. Probably would have used more if it was a hot tub. Service was impeccable. Ate breakfast every morning in Hōseki and ordered room service 3 times. Our dinner at the Delaire Graff restaurant was amazing as well. The staff helped with booking cars and honestly any questions we had on the area. Will definitely return

4 months agoBeautiful estate with stunning architecture. We had wine tasting and a cheese platter, which was a bit disappointing compare to the price. The platter had only three different sorts of cheese and service was slow. Coffee also not available
