What are the most beautiful wineries in Napa & Sonoma?

I guess the criteria would be something like, you stand here and you look upon the view and scenery, and you'd say to yourself, "I can't believe a place like this exists." Stunning hillside landscapes, sun shining through trees, or whatever.

I am also open to ideas in terms of an impressive building itself. A long time back, I did the Castello di Amorosa tour. Have also stopped by Chateau Montelena and Domaine Carneros, just to see the buildings. It is fun to go inside and see the cellars, but this is not my top priority.

Recently, I visited Far Niente, and what stood out particularly is how lovely their flower and gardens and trees are around the main building. I also did the golf car tour of Quintessa, and even in the early spring this bio-dynamic winery was green all over, and I felt fortunate since other wineries didn't have any grape bushes at the time.

Basically, I am looking for a beautiful place. So that I don't feel like I'm in the city anymore.
