June 19, 2012 23:25 by Emily

The Farmhouse Inn is a luxurious Diamond Collection B&B located in Forestville, California. This Wine Country B&B has some of their guest rooms in a renovated barn. To celebrate the barn turning three years old, they are offering their "You Choose Your Prize" Sweepstakes! Some of the prizes are quite unconventional.

Here are the four incredible prize options:

1) "Visit"
Win a two-night stay to the B&B in a luxury barn room. You will also get a four-course dinner and wine pairings for two in their Michelin Starred restaurant, and a private tour and lunch at one of their exclusive winery partners. (Value approx. $2,500)

2) "Sip"
You and Farmhouse's Wine Director, Master Sommelier Geoff Kruth, will collaborate to create your dream wine cellar*. They ship you a wine refrigerator and loan you Geoff and his expertise to help you choose and procure your dream collection. *Does not include the wine itself, but up to six hours of Geoff's time. (Value approx. $2,000).

3) "Sleep"
Win your very own famous and much sought after Farmhouse Bed--the mattress and the luxury layers of feather bedding and pillows will be delivered to your door (does not include bed frame or linens). You choose the size. (Value approx. $2,000)

4) "Farm"
Farm for yourself and dine on the fresh eggs that are such a part of the Farmhouse stay, every day, at home! The innkeepers will send you a custom-built coop, six heritage breed chicks and a sack of organic chick feed to get you going. Six fresh eggs a day...imagine the possibilities. This also includes a selection of Farmhouse breakfast recipes. (Value approx. $1,800).

To enter, simply like them on Facebook and submit your email address. If you invite friends and they sign up, you will earn additional entries. Good luck!

The Breakfast Recipe Challenge is Live--Vote Now!

March 21, 2012 20:41 by Emily

Our much-anticipated Breakfast Recipe Challenge launched on Monday. We received nearly 100 entries from innkeepers around the world. With the help of guest judges Danielle Contray of Budget Travel and Helen Anders of The Austin American-Statesman (our local paper), we pared these down to 16 creative breakfast dishes.

You can see the 16 finalists in our Facebook album. A few Diamond Collection properties made the cut. To the right is one of the finalists that came from a Diamond Collection member; it's Duck Confit Hash & Egg (aka Quackin Good Hash & Egg) from Casa Laguna Inn & Spa in Laguna Beach, CA.

From March 19-26, the top 16 will be paired head-to-head, with one pair going up for vote at noon each day. On March 27, we'll announce the top eight, and that bracket will begin. The final vote takes place on April 2.

You can vote once a day. One lucky voter will randomly be selected to win a $500 BedandBreakfast.com gift card. That's enough for an amazing weekend getaway!

Vote here!
