Couple Getaway in Wine Country
Our trip was to include the Napa Wine Train, but in general I prefer Sonoma to Napa (it’s more “real” and unpretentious). Given a foreseen split of our time between the two valleys, I didn’t really care which one our lodging was located in. But the host, Lance, did a remarkable job of conveying his property’s essence and charm via the VRBO listing. We chose Sonoma based on this cottage alone - glad we went on this path.
The cottage is exactly as described and as pictured and was perfect for my wife and I. The small patio bistro table pictured in the lead photo was used by us each evening just as depicted- two glasses and a bottle of wine. One night we were treated to a taste of the initial uncorking of the host’s latest vinification; he’s a obviously a skilled and knowledgeable wine maker. His sharing of knowledge about Sonoma area activities and dining was very helpful.
The cottage is very cute, cozy and clean …. exactly what we had hoped for. Given the amazing restaurants nearby, we did not use the kitchen much, but it’s fully equipped for any imaginable meal preparation or baking.
Great property in a quiet neighborhood, very close to the amenities of Sonoma (the town) and the vineyards of the Sonoma Valley.
We would be thrilled to return in the future!
