Resting on the edge of this eclectic town was this grand hotel with so much to offer, but also an enormous amount of potential," says Spivey. "With over 200 wineries, the hot springs and a charming downtown, plus the incredible amenities offered at the resort, I am thrilled to share this property and region with new groups, both large and small.
