Gated Wine Country Estate Amid Hundreds of Acres of Vineyards
Now is the perfect moment to explore the enchanting town of Sebastopol, where the exuberant charm of an old-fashioned farming town beckons. Originally renowned as the Gravenstein capital of the world due to Russian trappers planting Gravenstein apples in the 1800s, Sebastopol has evolved, with apples giving way to Burgundy varietals since the late '60s. Recognized as a "new theater for wine grapes" since the mid-'90s, it hosts home ranches for some of the most notable wineries, emphasizing blends and vineyard-designated wines (S.F Chronicle, 8.29.2008).
The house, with hardwood floors throughout, boasts a modern kitchen with gourmet cookware, two full baths, and granite countertops. The master bedroom features a king bed with a full bath en suite, and the two guest rooms offer queen beds. Amenities include Wi-Fi, a 49" LG HDTV with a soundbar, Direct TV satellite service with Netflix, and a deck with a hot tub for stargazing. The house also stands at the gateway to the Russian River and Sonoma Coast wine regions in Sonoma County, CA. Merely 25 miles north lies the picturesque town of Healdsburg, known for its world-class shopping, ambiance, and restaurants.
Access to the property is through a coded gate, leading up a long driveway surrounded by 100 acres of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Gris vineyards. Being part of a working ranch, occasional farming activity may be observed. While close to vibrant towns and farmer's markets, the property offers tranquility away from city lights and noise, providing each visitor with a peaceful spot in their private country home where they can acclimate to the sounds of silence at night.
Sebastopol and the surrounding area abound in artisan farms with organic, biodynamic, and sustainably farmed products. Award-winning wineries are easily accessible through a scenic drive, leading visitors through the Sonoma Coast, Russian River, Dry Creek Valley, and Alexander Valley. Country markets in Sebastopol, Healdsburg, Occidental, and Santa Rosa showcase the variety of micro producers prominent in the area.
The house provides a retreat in an environment of innovative yet accessible foods, world-class winemaking, first-class restaurants, and outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, or strolling and the Graton Casino is less than 20 minutes away..

The house is very nice, clean and roomy. It had everything we needed and was comfortable. The property is beautiful. It is surrounded by a vineyard. We would definitely stay here again. Our only complaints are that the wifi didn’t work well, but that really wasn’t too much of a big deal for us and the walkway and stairs leading up to the front entrance are paved with stone that is very uneven. I could see it being a tripping hazard, especially if someone has mobility issues. There is an entrance around the back with a nice flat sidewalk, but to initially get in the house you have to use the front door. I still give the house a 5 Star Review. It is a great place to stay.
We generally enjoyed the stay at The Vines. We liked the quiet environment until Friday morning when the vineyard workers started spraying the vines around the house beginning at about 3 am in the morning with tractors pulling sprayers. Basically couldn't sleep after that as they continued into the morning. Hopefully this doesn't happen too often and was only the one morning.

Thanks for the nice review. I'm afraid that part of the wine country experience can mean that you also get to experience the farming part of creating the wine. Unfortunately spraying in the vineyards has to happen in the middle of the night when there is no wind. We normally get notification from the vineyard manager so that we can warn people to keep windows and blinds closed but they didn't notify us in this case. I have asked the owner to make sure we are notified from now on.
