The Space:

Mornings unfolding slowly over the vines, afternoons bathed in the golden light of the Sonoma hills, and evenings spent under the stars in a private hot tub—welcome to your unique Wine Country retreat.



Set directly against the backdrop of a working vineyard just outside Sebastopol, this sprawling estate effortlessly blends modern comfort with thoughtfully curated 1980s nostalgia. From the antique furnishings and retro-chic floral wallpaper to a completely unique, multi-level Water Tower Casita, this property offers a cinematic escape from the everyday.



The Main House

Step through the side porch into a charming bonus prep-kitchen and laundry room—the perfect drop zone for your fresh produce and artisanal finds from the local farmers market. This leads directly into the bright, modernized main kitchen, which retains its vintage soul with classic tile countertops and curated antique serving ware.



▪️ Dining & Gathering: A sunlit dining room comfortably seats eight (with a vintage high-chair available for little ones). After dinner, retreat to the sitting room to relax by the decorative fireplace surrounded by sweeping vineyard views and antique furnishings.

▪️ The Media Room: Kick back in the family room featuring a large-screen Smart TV, a premium sound system, and a curated library of books, CDs, and cassette tapes to fully immerse yourself in the home's nostalgic charm.

▪️ The Primary Suite: A spacious retreat featuring a King bed, A/C, Smart TV, and direct access to the wrap-around deck (with the hot tub just steps away). The retro-chic en-suite bathroom is a true highlight, boasting a deep soaking tub surrounded by picturesque windows, a walk-in shower, and a private water closet.

▪️ The Guest Bedroom: Features a beautiful antique Queen four-poster bed and a Smart TV.



The Water Tower Casita

Just steps from the main house, the striking Water Tower provides additional privacy and unforgettable vineyard vantage points.



▪️ Lower Level Suite: A fully independent living space featuring a private King bedroom, A/C, Smart TV, a full kitchen, a dining area, an en-suite bathroom, and a private washer/dryer.

▪️ Upper Level Bunk Room: The second floor of the tower houses a cozy bunk room with two twin-over-twin bunk beds (sleeping up to four). Please Note: There is no bathroom on this upper level. Guests staying in the bunk room must go outside and downstairs to use the lower Casita en-suite bathroom or the Main House facilities.

▪️ The Rooftop Lounge: Climb to the very top of the Water Tower to discover a spectacular open-air viewing deck. Outfitted with comfortable lounge seating, it is the ultimate spot for sunset cocktails while overlooking the grapevines.



The estate is intentionally designed for gathering in the fresh Sonoma air. The spacious, multi-level wrap-around decks blur the line between the home and the working vineyard. Fire up the BBQ for an alfresco meal, sip a glass of local Pinot on the outdoor sofas, or end the night unwinding in the private hot tub while taking in the absolute tranquility of the property.



Beyond its agricultural roots, the estate carries a unique piece of cinematic history. This property served as a primary filming location for the upcoming feature film, Blood Wine (releasing Summer 2026). Guests are invited to explore the fictional backstory tied to the production at the Lavigne Sonoma website, adding a fun, intriguing narrative layer to your stay!
