Indulge your inner chef.

About

Refugio is a contemporary Spanish-style guesthouse, a peaceful retreat, and a place to wind down at magic hour. Refugio boasts two state-of-the-art suites, each with private deck and fire-pit (and mini-bar). Indulge your inner chef in the fully-equipped teaching/catering kitchen and expansive patio overlooking two and a half acres of pasture, with two 300-year-old oak trees.

The spaces may be configured in several different ways, to suit culinary-focused visitors to our wine country, and/or those who just want a serene spot for reflection and a base for exploring the region. The two completely separate and private suites at Refugio can comfortably accommodate one or two single(s), one or two couple(s), and family or professional groups.

The Owners

Brigit Binns & Casey Biggs

Brigit Binns is the nationally-known author or co-author of numerous best-selling cookbooks, many of them for Williams-Sonoma. Her most recent cookbook, The NEW Wine Country Cookbook: Recipes from California’s Central Coast, celebrates the wine, food, people, and landscapes of her home.

Casey Biggs, a Juilliard grad and constantly-working actor and director, has a long list of film, television, and stage credits (including four seasons on Star Trek DS9).

“Think real men don’t drink pink?…Real men fear only unrequited love, the road not taken, and clowns.”
