Koehler Vineyard House + optional Casita

Loved the house. Big and spacious for 6 women on a weekend trip. Dan who is in the tasting room is great and very knowledgeable about the area and wines. He has a great sense of humor too. Big beam ceilings, old barn floors and humongous kitchen. Hope they are still there the next time we go.

My friend and I stayed with our pups for four nights at the winery house and were so sad to leave! We loved every minute of it and can’t wait to come back. The pics on the website depict it perfectly. We left the property to scooter into town twice but other than that we took full advantage of the wonderful winery house. We had fires every morning and evening and enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen and having our dinners and wine by the fire. You could never get tired of the vineyard views and strolling around the property. The emus were so fun to watch and they were as curious about our pups as the pups were of them! Dan the wine man was such a huge help. Any request we had, big or small, was handled right away. Thanks again, Dan!

We had a group of 11 adults so we rented the main house and the guest house. It is great for a group of people with plenty of room in different spaces to gather together. We cooked at the house and found everything we needed. The house is very comfortable and the location is beautiful and peaceful. The tasting room is just a short staircase away and there are many other wineries in the area so wine tasting is quite convenient. Kory was super easy to get in touch with and booking was a breeze. Once we arrived Dan was great. We absolutely will return!!

Our stay was extremely welcomed after a hectic first few months of the year. My niece, nephew-in-law and I flew in from NJ to participate in the Great Race in Augora Hills followed by a long weekend wine tasting in Santa Inez with another CA friend of mine. I have stayed at the Fess Parker Inn in Los Olivos several times and thought this would be a nice change and it truly was.

Check-in was simple, we met Dan at the wine tasting room and he gave us the keys then pointed us to the house, which is directly below the tasting room. We were like little children walking through the house deciding who was going to sleep where and taking in many of the unique features like the artwork, laundry sink, and great kitchen stove (Ryan wanted to slip it in his suitcase). With the exception of food, the house had had everything we needed, including laundry detergent and two white comfy robes.

As it was my idea to come here..I took the master bedroom, which was huge. One evening I was a little short of my 10,000 steps for the day so I gently jogged back and forth in the room until my fitbit told me I was finished for the day. The outside wall of the bathroom is all windows with lovely plants along side the inside edge. While taking my shower I could watch the emus strutting back and forth, it was almost like I was taking my shower outside.

The back porch overlooks the vineyards and we enjoyed our coffee each morning viewing all the different types of birds with the red headed woodpecker and hawks building their nest for spring being our favorite. At night it was so peacefully quite except for the coyotes barking, which for some strange reasons was comforting.

We had dinner reservations the first evening at "Sides" but were enjoying the house so much, we decided to stay in after enjoying our free wine tasting at the Koehler tasting room. On Monday we did get to eat at Sides for lunch after the most wonderful massage at the Fess Parker Inn. Joy gave a wonderful deep tissue massage, which was much needed after the run on Saturday.

We also went on an all day wine tasting trip with Stage Coach Tours. They picked us up and dropped us off at the property, which made it a carefree day for everyone to enjoy the wine tastings.

My guests and I truly enjoyed the beauty and tranquility of the Koehler property and would recommend it to groups who enjoy wine tasting and spending time together.

This divine oasis deserves the seal of a Relais & Chateaux. The tranquil setting will lower your blood pressure, and the views and night sky will take your breath away. This grand home is worthy of the estate while being relaxed and comfortable. The nearby horses, sheep, and Emu will bring smiles to all who whisper to them. The still photos don't fully realize this 3 dimensional paradise. Bring CD's...everything else is there! We will be back!
