Vineyard-side cottages, mansions in the hills, budget-friendly dwellings—there are options when booking a Vrbo amongst California’s sprawling wine country. Go vineyard hopping on foot, enjoy personal wine bus tours, or just casually visit acclaimed wineries that have been on your bucket list since you were finally at the point where you’d splurge for a rich Cabernet versus a bargain box of lip staining Moscato. But hey, that’s cool too. Regardless of your palate, visiting wine country is indescribably decompressing and whimsical, especially when staying at the following Vrbos.
3-Bedroom Country House - Sonoma
An enormous porch invites guests to lounge all day, and night while taking in that California sunshine. The home itself is completely impressive and worthy of the most elegant dinner party, accompanied by fantastic wine of course. Don’t forget the charcuterie. Lounge under the pergola after taking a dip in the pool that faces outward towards the wine country terrain.
The Oxbow House - Napa
This Napa home was made for culinary entertainment. Prepare cheeses, fruits, and other perfect pairings inside the gorgeous kitchen, and retreat to the manicured backyard where you will find a sun-drenched table, grassy recreation area, and of course a corn hole set. Much of the original 1930s character can be detected, while luxurious accents bring this rental to classy bed-and-breakfast status.
Beautiful 3,000-Square-Foot Castle in the Vineyards - Sebastopol
Many imaginative children dream of ruling a kingdom one day. But would you settle for fulfilling those dreams within a castle-style Vrbo? The exterior exudes stone cylinder towers, and medieval flare carries inside. A game room with an impressive bar meshes strangely well with age-old touches. You’ll just have to bring the crowns.
5-Bedroom Home Adjacent to Healdsburg - Santa Rosa
Enjoy the pool, basketball court, shaded hot tub, and outdoor kitchen -– there’s even a wood-fired pizza oven outside, where you can make your own creations topped with artisanal cheeses selected by the property management company. The Mediterranean-inspired estate even offers its own wine tours! Elegance blankets every inch of this polished home, which features gleaming floors that cascade from one room to the next.
Upscale Home with Sunny Deck in the Redwoods - Healdsburg
The foggy cold climate near the Redwoods also happens to be ideal for growing grapes that make for an excellent pinot noir. Just 2 miles away from this detailed gorgeously crafted home are wineries and cellars that will intrigue the palate. Warm ambiance, and the occasional flooding of light from windows in the ceiling, create a glorious balance. Outside, make memories by the uniquely shaped fire pit, or sip earthy varietals while enjoying the hot tub.
Lower-Level Cottage with Ocean Views - Gualala
The ocean is mere steps from the porch of this wooden cabin. We love that the design is clean and simple, so the focus is on the surroundings. Guests note that wildlife such as whales and birds can sometimes be spotted from the porch, making this a perfectly disconnected retreat from everyday hustle and bustle.
Fabulous Pet-Friendly Retreat on Russian River - Healdsburg
A quaint feel flows throughout this cottage and continues outside to the cheerful red exterior. Flowers drape around the property, each colorful bloom contrasting beautifully against the abode. The home is perfectly spacious with a charming kitchen and high ceiling living room, and a capability of sleeping up to six guests.
Studio Cottage Retreat in Vineyard Setting - Santa Rosa
You can’t get more “in” wine country than this. With one bedroom and other spacious living areas, the cottage sits at the edge of a pinot noir vineyard. Other places to taste different varietals are within close proximity. Gaze out the windows to the lush vines and oak trees.
Romantic & Private Guest Suite, Walk to Wineries - Temecula
How amazing is it that you can totally eliminate traveling by car when staying at this guest cottage? Venture to amazing wineries on foot. An astonishing 42 wineries are reachable within a few minutes should you decide to crank up your vehicle. A spa-like quality emanates through the basic yet chic space, which is fitting for any wine vacay.
The Cottage at Peppertree Lane Ranch - Temecula
Stone floors that whisk guests away to simpler times, a hammock that sways under the blue sky, and dining areas enveloped by the sun—you’d think we were talking about Tuscany. However, this is California and a rustic property within Temecula wine country. Feel as if you are living the ranch life and sip drinks and snack on jerky by the living room fireplace.
Enchanted Cottage in the Redwoods - Mendocino
Enchantment truly does await at the minimalist cabin surrounded by flowers and garden foliage. Chickens clucking in the background add to the endearment. Wood floors and a beautifully crafted fireplace inside are the epitome of old-school workmanship. Falling in love yet?
