Winvian Upholds Its Five Diamond Tradition

Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend

Marilyn Monroe extolled the enduring value of everyone’s favorite gemstone, and we couldn’t agree more. There is nothing quite like a diamond—or, better yet, 150 diamonds—the impressive total awarded Winvian after fifteen consecutive years of winning AAA’s prestigious Five Diamond designation for both dining and lodging.

Those diamonds don’t come easy. While anyone who has ever selected a diamond knows the four c’s of cut, color, clarity and carat, AAA’s standards are even more extensive. Their anonymous inspectors rigorously examine every aspect of a guest’s experience, from arrival to departure. For its highest accolade, the Five Diamond, AAA expects elevation at every level—from attentive and welcoming staff who greet guests by name, to pristine accommodations replete with unexpected amenities. Standard is substandard. Excellence is to be expected.

In light of this exacting evaluation, it’s no wonder only 0.3%, a tiny fraction of properties with AAA status, receive Five Diamond commendation. Of that fraction, an even smaller subset garners equal praise for both dining and lodging. With fifteen years of steady recognition in both categories, Winvian may stand alone at this pinnacle of achievement.

E is the New C

 Traditional diamonds are made through a combination of extreme heat, pressure, and time. That doesn’t sound very pleasant, does it? At Winvian, we create a diamond-worthy experience with a focus on the four E’s: Elegance, Exclusivity, Elevation and Expertise. The result: Winvian’s diamond-worthy hospitality comes naturally. We take pleasure in every painstaking detail.

Elegance is an attitude, not a set of outdated rules or stuffy etiquette. It’s a warm-welcome that makes each guest feel right at home in the comfort of our family estate. It’s timeless and time-honored, part of a family legacy of hospitality that we are dedicated to upholding.

Exclusivity doesn’t mean exclusion. In fact, Winvian earns consistent praise for making every guest feel like family. But from the moment you drive through our gate, you know you’ve arrived someplace out of the ordinary where you’ll experience the best life has to offer in a place like no other.

Elevation means transforming ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences for our guests. Expect superlatives: the softest sheets, the steamiest showers, the most delicious coffee and warmest breads fresh from our kitchen every morning. Expect turn down service turned up a notch, with a sweet treat or a light dimmed to perfection. The Spa? Award winning, year after year. The Restaurant? Don’t just read the glowing reviews. Tasting is believing.

Expertise is our foundation. With a longstanding tradition of offering guests European hospitality close to home, we’ve learned a thing or two. We anticipate needs, exceed expectations, and thrive on special requests. 150 diamonds reflect our ability to transform years of experience into expertise you can trust—no extreme heat necessary.
