From the time you walk in until the time you leave you will love The Farmhouse at Veritas. Jose greeted us upon arrival with some fresh baked chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven! We stayed in Somerset, a lovely room. Beautiful artwork, window treatments and paint color. We went to Veritas winery that afternoon. A beautiful setting and very good wine. Wine hour was at 5:30. So nice that Patricia (loved hearing about the history of the Farmhouse and Veritas) joined us. Also enjoyed getting aquainted with other guests. We enjoyed an outstanding 4 course dinner,prepared by the amazing Chef Joel, with each course paired with Veritas wines, on our second night. Breakfast was amazing as well. The entire stay was perfect. Thank you Hodson Family for doing it right...

My husband have enjoyed a winter get away trip for the past seven years and have stayed at a different hotel or b&b each year. The Farmhouse at Veritas was our favorite by a long shot! The property was breathtaking, the food and Chef Joel were just divine and Patricia and Andrew were absolutely lovely! You feel right at home. The companionship of the staff was so unique and fun. Everything was perfect at the Farmhouse at Veritas!

My wife & I decided on a last minute get away and we chose the Farmhouse at Veritas. Having been to Veritas several times for wine tastings and dinners we wanted to give their Farmhouse a try. The house was immaculate and very welcoming. All of the staff were very pleasant and made sure all of our needs were taken care of. The breakfasts in the morning were out of this world and left us very filled. I would certainly recommend the Farmhouse to anyone. We will certainly be back for another visit. Thanks to all the staff at Veritas for an enjoyable stay. Sincerely, Hugh & Erica Cline

We stumbled upon this gem almost a year ago while making preparations for my husband's 40th birthday celebration. We knew we wanted a "wine tasting" weekend with friends, and we knew we wanted to be together all weekend. This immediately elimated all hotels. The Farmhouse at Veritas was THE PERFECT place for us. We arrived NYE weekend, to a full staff all more than ready to help us get unpacked, settled and organized. Since we has rented the entire house for our guests, I had lots of other provisions to unpack and things to store with the staff. We occupied every room, and each was better than the one before! The gathering room is lovely and very fun. The food is incredible. Valerie, Jose, Joel and Jon could not have been more accomodating and welcoming for our 4 day stay. The meals, the service, the attention to detail were all phenomenal from start to finish. There was NOTHING we asked for the was not accommodated, including a chef prepared dinner for 15! My husband and I and our 10 guests, truly can not say enough about The Farmhouse. BEST TRIP WITH FRIENDS EVER--many many thanks to everyone there. This is a MUST do while visiting the area!

5 out of 5Best Getaway Weekend
December 16, 2012
My wife and I had never been to a bed and breakfast before. It was the best experience we had. I had made special request to surprise my wife and all were met. The staff was friendly, helpful and made us feel at home. We stayed in the Derby room and the views were beautiful looking out at the mountain and the vinyards. The breakfast and wine pairing dinner was excellent and the chef made some incredible dishes. Our experience at The Farmhouse at Veritas was beyond our expectations and we will definately go back. Even our pet, Brad Pit, enjoyed his stay. To everyone at The Farmhouse thank you.

We absolutely loved our 3 night stay at the Farmhouse at Veritas. Our room was the Surrey Room. The bed was comfy and the room was nicely appointed with nice views and amenities. Our only complaint is that the fireplace wasn’t operational. Both the food and service were spectacular. Chef Joel cooked some amazing breakfasts each morning…..correction…the food was phenomenal! We ate dinner there one night and he knocked it out of the park as well. Valerie’s service was awesome. Having been in their shoes and worked at a 5 Star/Diamond Resort in the past, I could tell that they have the gift of hospitality. We normally don't stay at B&B's but we sure are glad we did. This was our first time to the area and we intend to make this a annual trip. We will only stay at the Farmhouse. No need to go else where. All of the staff, especially Joel and Valerie made us feel at home and very relaxed. Joel is an amazing chef and very personable. We are foodies so being able to discuss with him cooking topics was all part of the great experience. We look forward to our next trip...sooner rather than later!

In my 30 years of business and pleasure travel, I have never had an experience that exceeded our stay at the Farmhouse. Awesome staff, felt very special all weekend long. Hats off to the Hodson's, they do it right!

My boyfriend and I stayed recently at the Farmhouse. I looked around the area for a place to stay while visiting nearby wineries and found Veritas online. The website made the rooms look incredible, but there is no comparison to seeing it in person. It does not disappoint! The service was wonderful. Joel and Jose were wonderful at breakfast. French press coffee and a 3 course breakfast including Mousseux started our wine-tasting day off right. Highly recommend staying during the week if you are looking for a quiet getaway and extra attention all around. We will definitely be back and will refer friends as well!
