Cyrus in Geyserville

Cyrus first earned its reputation in Healdsburg and was relaunched by chef Douglas Keane and maitre d' Nick Peyton in a modern concrete-and-glass building among the Alexander Valley vineyards just outside Geyserville. The site was once a prune-packing facility, a past recalled by the plum tree in the courtyard.

Dinner is called the Dining Journey. It begins with Champagne and canapes in the Bubbles Lounge, moves to small bites in the kitchen, continues with larger plates in the dining room and ends in a separate chocolate room. Guests are invited to arrive early for a cocktail, a walk in the gardens and the valley views. The Michelin Guide gives it one star.

Cyrus fits neatly at the end of an Alexander Valley or Dry Creek tasting day. Come early: the experience is designed to start with a drink in the lounge and a walk through the gardens before the first course. Highway 128 is a dark, rural road after a long dinner, which is exactly when you want a chauffeur behind the wheel.
