“The Vineyard Residence home was spectacular. The setting is absolutely beautiful and all you see is the vineyard. We walked around the vineyard every morning and it was so peaceful and the fall colors were spectacular. The house is very comfortable and it’s large but also cozy.” - Leslie
Welcome to The Vineyard Residence, a thoughtfully updated retreat set amidst the rolling hills of Sonoma County. Ideal for those seeking calm, natural beauty, and a taste of Wine Country living, this home offers both modern comfort and rustic charm within easy reach of local wineries, boutique shops, and the coast.
*The Space*
Tucked on 20 acres in the heart of Sonoma’s Russian River Valley, this retreat offers more than just a place to stay—it’s a working vineyard and a fully immersive Wine Country experience.
Set in the lush and storied southwest corner of the Russian River Valley, the recently renovated two-story home is surrounded by rolling vines and breathtaking views in every direction. The Vineyard Residence is a place where wine, nature, and relaxation come together.
Guests are invited to book a private 90-minute tasting experience just steps from the house with co-owner Breauna Kanzler, and you may even spot Winemaker Alex Kanzler tending the vineyard on his tractor. This is wine country living, authentically experienced.
Whether you're on a romantic getaway, a family reunion, or a weekend retreat with friends, this home was designed to inspire connection and creativity. Take a peaceful stroll through the vines, fire up the grill for a sunset BBQ, or enjoy a locally made bottle on the patio beneath the stars. The sweet scent of ripening grapes fills the air as you warm up beside the firepit outdoor.
Behind the house, you’ll find a private pool offering plenty of seclusion, perfect for sunny afternoons or a refreshing dip after a day of wine tasting.
