I think your list of requirements is somewhat limiting. There are a lot of great spring centuries at fine vacation destinations, but basically spring means unpredictable weather and they aren't necessiarily wine & fine dining hot spots. Likewise, ther are also many fine rides at great destinations with great food and drink but they aren't held in the spring.

So ignoring all of that, the Heber Valley Century held here in northern Utah in late September is a great ride. It is held in the vicinity of Park City which is a great vacation destination with beautiful scenery, nice lodging options, and good food and drink. Weather is usually pleasant with cool mornings. But hey, it is September in the Utah mountains at ~6500' so there are no guarantees on the weather. This is where the saying applies, "If you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes."
