Hobby Vineyard + Firepit + Outdoor Living + EV Charger | Grapevine Cottage

★ Recognized as one of our best. This home was a finalist in the 2025 AvantStay Awards, our annual celebration of top-tier stays.

Welcome to Grapevine Cottage by AvantStay — a private vineyard stay just outside Glen Ellen designed for slow mornings, golden-hour dinners, and days shaped entirely by wine country living.

Set on a hobby vineyard surrounded by mature trees and newly refreshed landscaping, the property feels secluded and immersive from the moment you arrive. Step outside and wander the vines, pour a glass, and settle into the rhythm of Sonoma.

The outdoor spaces are where this home truly shines. A generous yard unfolds into multiple areas for gathering and relaxing — sun loungers for warm afternoons, shaded lounge seating, a firepit for evenings under the stars, and several spots for alfresco dining. With multiple grills and vineyard views in every direction, the entire property feels made for lingering meals and unhurried conversation.

Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated, including a brand-new remodeled kitchen that anchors the space and makes cooking at home part of the experience. The living room offers a comfortable place to unwind after a day of tastings, while two queen bedrooms provide a peaceful place to recharge. The primary bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom, and a second full bathroom adds convenience for additional guests.

Location is another standout. You’re just minutes from Glen Ellen and surrounded by some of Sonoma’s most beloved wineries and restaurants. Enjoy dinner at Glen Ellen Star, stroll Sonoma Plaza and dine at The Girl & The Fig, or spend the day tasting at Benziger Family Winery, Imagery Estate, and Eric Ross Winery — all within easy reach.

An EV charger makes exploring the region effortless, and AvantStay’s concierge team is available to help arrange tastings, transportation, and unforgettable local experiences.

Grapevine Cottage is Sonoma at its most personal — private, peaceful, and rooted in the vineyard lifestyle.

AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips!

Known for its vineyards, local cuisine, and nature parks, Sonoma County (45 minutes from San Francisco) offers a wide array of activities for those looking to retreat from city life. Touring local wineries, dining at farm-to-table restaurants, and visiting world-class spas are classic ways to experience the area. While unwinding is certainly the attitude in Sonoma, activities such as horseback riding, hot-air ballooning, and kayaking attract those looking for a little adventure. In the evening, watch the sunset over the vineyards and rolling hills, wine glass in hand.
