Success Story The June Motel
Guests are greeted with a smile and a glass of rosé in the "wine lobby," where a neon sign reading "Peace Love Wine" casts a watermelon-hued glow. Open a salmon-painted door to your lodgings – you could be in the Wine Suite or Rosé Suite – and you'll find plenty of glassware and charcuterie boards for you to enjoy your spoils from the day's tours.
