Opened in February 2023 in charming Los Olivos, The Inn at Mattei’s Tavern, Auberge Resorts Collection features 67 luxury guest rooms and cottages that blend the simplicity of modern farmhouse design with the eclectic style of nearby ranch life. Set on a historic piece of land populated with old-growth palm trees and close to the many nearby vineyards, The Inn at Mattei’s Tavern originally served as a popular stagecoach stop in the 1880s. Considered the social center of the Santa Ynez Valley, the property has remained a lively local landmark, revered and enjoyed for generations. The hotel is particularly specialized in destination-inspired activities, each of which harmoniously blend the resort’s storied past with its present rich and diverse culture, from winemaker experiences, knife making, uni harvesting, chef-led paella nights, olive oil tastings, polo riding, and more.
