Chateau Elan Winery & Resort

I stayed at the Chateau Elan from 9/11-9/14, and I can confidently say I had a fantastic experience. From the beginning of the trip, I started at the spa and was treated by Towanda for an exfoliation, wrap, and massage. Not only was her personality and vibe just perfect, but she made the experience so calming, relaxing, and reassuring. Also, I’ve had so much swelling from a previous injury, and Towanda took CAREEE of it. I left feeling weightless. Then, Melanie gave me a Hydrafacial/led therapy, and I also had an amazing experience with her as well! She is so intelligent and knowledgeable about skin/products. I was confident I was walking out with healthy skin and great products. The spa room was spacious, cleaned daily, and was the perfect size for someone just wanting to do a solo trip. All of the staff in the spa were so kind and helpful in whatever I needed! I did experiences, such as the cooking class, and it was so nice this was offered. I’ve been wanting to do more cooking, and this was such a fun and good-paced way to get some foundation. The chef (so sorry forgot name, started with a M) was great. The wine tour and tasting with Q was SO good!! I loved his recommendations for wine pairings, and just how intelligent he is. The staff are doing such a beautiful job all around, whether it’s at a restaurant, the spa, Inn, or Winery. I truly had a 10/10 experience the entire time. I recommend this to families, solo trips, or weekend getaways with friends! Also, definitely recommend the shuttle service! They are quick and all so kind. Book your trip!!

Château Élan never disappoints. The property is absolutely beautiful and has a way of making you feel as though you have left the state entirely. It genuinely feels like an escape. Marc Restaurant is good, and our overall dining experience was enjoyable. However, my party and I noticed what appeared to be biased treatment from one waiter, whose name tag identified him as being from India. For context, Château Élan lists staff members’ nationalities on their name tags, so this was a visible identifying detail rather than an assumption on our part. We reported our concerns to the manager. What made the situation more concerning was that we later overheard another table, whose party closely mirrored ours, raising a similar concern about the same waiter with management. That certainly gave us pause. Outside of that experience, the property remains impressive. And the spa? The spa is **spa-ing**. Very serene, relaxing, beautifully maintained, and exactly what you want a spa experience to be. It is easily one of the highlights of Château Élan. Despite the service concern at Marc, Château Élan remains a beautiful and relaxing getaway, and overall, it is a place that continues to deliver. If you want, I can also make the restaurant paragraph **sharper and more direct** without making it sound inflammatory.

I had a wonderful time at the winery with Kai, she was so helpful and so sweet. She made our experience amazing, you can tell that she loves what she does, she was so knowledgeable and felt like family.

Dalia led us through an incredible wine tasting tour. She brought the energy knowledge and charisma to ensure we all had a great time.

Our stay at Chateau Elan was nothing short of wonderful, made all the more memorable by the incredible people who work there. I treated myself to a HydraFacial with Melanie, whose skill and attentiveness left my skin — and my mood — glowing. I followed that with a massage from Steve, whose hands truly work magic. My husband, meanwhile, experienced his very first massage with Towanda, and he hasn't stopped raving about how much better his back felt afterward. Between the exceptional golf and the truly rejuvenating spa experience, Chateau Elan gave us a stay to remember. Thank you for such wonderful hospitality.
