About Vic McWilliams
I am a winemaker. I have owned and operated two award winning wineries since 1978, and that is my true passion. Living in Sonoma is magical and making wine from the grapes we grow in this region is a real joy. It is my pleasure to share a bottle of wine as a welcome gift to my guests. I hope you enjoy both my house and my wine.
Vic McWilliams purchased this House in 2009
Why Vic McWilliams chose Sonoma
This is my home that I am sharing with you. I have a beautiful back garden with swimming pool, and all of the amenities you could want for having a comfortable stay in Sonoma. I chose this property because it is in an older neighborhood and close to everything you could want in Sonoma.
What makes this House unique
The house is in a family neighborhood with easy access to all of the wonderful wineries and events Sonoma and Napa have to offer. It is close to the historic Sonoma plaza (2.9 miles), great restaurants, movie theaters and on-going events in Sonoma, and is just minutes from quaint Glen Ellen, home of Jack London State Park, and all points north. San Francisco is one hour south and the Sonoma coast one hour west. If you like to bike, hike, golf, swim, shop or taste wine and eat great food, you have come to the right place! Local artisans, musicians, spas and stores will entertain and indulge you. We are only a 15 minute drive from Sonoma Raceway and 30 minutes from Napa.

Beautiful Home
5/5 Stayed May 2018

This is my first experience with VRBO and I was not disappointed! There were seven of us and the accommodations were excellent. The beds were very comfortable, including the sleeper sofa, the bathrooms large. Everything, including make up remover, was provided! The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies (spices, oils, etc) as well as all serving items. I wish the weather had been a little warmer in order to take full advantage of the pool. Looks like solar heating and on cloudy day did not warm up enough to use. There are chickens and roosters next door, which I love, having had both for several years. There are houses on only one side of the street, the other side tree lined, providing the feeling that you are in the country. Close to wineries, Sonoma Country Club and shopping. I'd stay again in a heart beat!

Weekend Getaway with Friends
5/5 Stayed Apr 2018
Meg M.
The Winemaker's Home worked well for our weekend getaway. In total, there were 3 couples, and we were all very comfortable in the house. It is very clean and well maintained, and we could have easily spent more time there. The house is conveniently located to downtown Sonoma as well as wineries and other attractions in the area. Despite being in a residential neighborhood, there was a little more street noise throughout the night than I would have expected. Our bedroom window was on the front of the house, so this may not have been an issue in the other rooms. The pool heater was not turned on yet during our stay, but the back yard is quite attractive and a lovely place to relax. We would definitely consider booking the house again if we return to the area.

Vic was awesome and understanding. Very easy to work with and the place was excellent. Couldn’t have found a better place for the weekend in Sonoma. Close distance to the city center and real close to multiple different wineries.
