You can also just relax at the picnic table and gaze at the hills of Anderson Valley and the Pinot Noir grapevines that surround you.

We loved staying at the Tolman House again, this clean, comfortable farmhouse is well stocked and close to many wineries, markets and restaurants. Nancy is a consummate host.
We very much enjoyed staying here. We had six adults, and found this place extremely comfortable. The house is in a great location! We were a short walk into town for restaurants and shopping. We especially enjoyed visiting Foursight
Four cousins stayed 2 nights as part of a week long trip to taste wines in Sonoma. The location gave us a full day to enjoy four wineries and one brewery.
This was a perfect stay for what we needed. The house had all the amenities you would expect for a home. It was clean, well appointed and in a great location for us as we were visiting family in the area. Highly recommended if you are visiting Anderson Valley! I forgot my sport coat and Nancy has even offered to mail it back to me, thanks so much!
