Romantic Weekend Getaway to Ojai, California
EXPERIENCE OVERVIEW
Derived from an indigenous word meaning “nest,” there may be no better description for the quaint town of Ojai. Comfortably tucked away in the Ventura River Valley of the Topatopa Mountains in Southern California, and home to a year-round Mediterranean-style climate as well as a lovely downtown area full of boutique shops, restaurants, and art galleries, it’s the perfect setting for a romantic weekend getaway for two.
Here you’ll enjoy luxury accommodations at the historic Ojai Valley Inn, an elegant resort set on 220 oak-studded acres in the heart of the valley. Consistently honored by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the Top 100 Hotels in the World and named one of the Best Hotels in the World by Travel + Leisure readers, this stunning resort is a treasured destination that combines the region’s unspoiled, sun-kissed beauty with thoroughly modern amenities.
Rent a cabana at one of the four resort pools, sign up for art classes for two at the onsite cottage studio, reserve court time at their award-winning tennis center, or share a relaxing couple’s massage at Spa Ojai. You can also go horseback riding on the River Valley Trail or take a picnic bike tour of Ojai, learning more about the history of the area and enjoying the fragrant smell of local citrus orchards and lavender fields as you ride.
As part of your stay, we’ve arranged for you to enjoy a private, hands-on Beekeeping and Honey Tasting Experience at the inn. Explore a day in the life of an apiarist and see the inside workings of a hive. You’ll learn more about the honey-making process including how to identify the queen. And best of all, you’ll end this unique 90-minute experience with a tasting of delicious cold-pressed raw honey.
We’ve also planned an exciting open-air, canopied Jeep tour of the valley for you while you’re here. On this five-hour Vineyard and Wine exploration of Ojai, you’ll journey through the valley’s stunning terrain, taking in the majestic mountain vistas, and see why it’s earned the self-styled nickname of Shangri-La. You’ll also enjoy a tour and tasting at one of Ojai’s local olive oil farms and finish the day sampling some of the best local wines from a variety of vineyards and tasting rooms in the area.
In between your weekend activities, be sure to grab lunch at any of the cafes or pubs at the inn or in town. Fuel up on fresh goodies with breakfast at the local farmer’s market. And make time—and reservations— for dinner at one of Ojai’s amazing fine dining restaurants. We recommend the upscale, farm-to-table offerings at the inn’s Olivella and Vine restaurant or an unforgettable romantic dinner in the exquisite garden setting at The Ojai Ranch House.
Your romantic getaway weekend to idyllic Ojai will leave you rested, relaxed, and more connected than ever to the one you love.
