Vineyards stretch out in every direction from this Sebastopol farmhouse – from the front porch with its rocking chairs to the back deck where a gas fire pit draws everyone out after dinner. The views follow you from room to room, including the main suite with its soaking bathtub. When you're not watching the light shift over the vines, a converted games room with a pool table and bar gives the evening a different kind of energy. Complimentary tastings at a curated selection of Sonoma County wineries are included, making this a compelling base for wine country.
