Whether you're an old-world aficionado or new-world evangelist, there's a vineyard hotel out there for you. Boutique hotel website Mr & Mrs Smith (http:www.mrandmrssmith.com) lists the world's best hotels for wine lovers.

1. Calistoga Ranch, Napa Valley, United States
California's Napa Valley is the heartland of US winemaking: an easygoing, river-run pocket of rolling greenery that revels in a sun-kissed climate. Calistoga Ranch, a collection of 48 wooden lodges woven into a forest of pines and oaks, is a supremely romantic embodiment of the valley's welcoming, informal atmosphere. The ranch has its own vineyard, label and tasting cave. Visiting vintners from all around pop in with their wares throughout the year, and the wine list in the restaurant could take a week to read, let alone sample. Furthermore, guests who want to get their hands juicy can join in harvesting, pruning and crushing. The hotel's Bathhouse spa uses Calistoga's mineral waters, offering numerous soaking treatments, scrubs and massages, and the exclusive Lakehouse restaurant is one of Napa's most celebrated.
