We’re back after big upgrades! Experience real Wine Country living right in the middle of an organic vineyard, home of Grand Scheme Wines in Sonoma Valley. Carneros Barn House is ideal for four travelers that want to enjoy space, privacy and access to all that wine country has to offer. The modern, two-story barn-style home is complete with two spacious bedrooms, bathrooms, great room, dining areas and chef’s kitchen. A plentiful backyard area, lawn, in-ground custom pool with spa, and gas fire pit maximize outdoor relaxation all day, and end with epic sunsets year round. Centrally located just minutes between Sonoma (10 minutes) and Napa (15 minutes) centers, this is a perfect home base for sightseeing, wine tasting and day trips up North deeper into Wine Country, West to the Pacific Coast and South to San Francisco – or just stay at home! Fly into five different regional airports: San Francisco (SFO), Oakland (OAK), Napa (APC), Santa Rosa (STS) or Sacramento (SMF).
Downstairs, the Great Room has beautiful vaulted ceilings and oversized windows to let the light in. The lower-level bedroom has a comfy Queen bed and adjacent bathroom with shower. Upstairs, the loft area has a loungable sofa with views and a 65” Smart TV with Cable with all your favorite streaming apps. An overhead fan, remote shades and A/C keep everyone cool during the summer days, while ample windows let the Carneros breezes bring in cool, fresh air at night. The spacious upstairs primary bedroom is complete with luxury King size bed, his and hers wardrobe, dresser and daybed. The ensuite bath has a shower and jetted soaking tub with postcard views. The upstairs deck just outside offers an ideal perch to have your morning coffee or sip a glass of wine and enjoy the vineyard views.
If you consider yourself a cook, you will love the chef’s kitchen – complete with professional grade appliances, gourmet cookware, cutlery and available wood-fired pizza oven*. Plan your gourmet meal, stop at one of the several organic grocery stores in the area, or pick up some delicious pre-cooked items instead. We can even connect you with local home chefs for in-home experiences. Dining has many options, including the breakfast sunroom, bites in the kitchen, a sit-down meal in the large dining room or outside picnic areas, with professional Weber natural gas grill (no empty propane!), table and adjustable umbrella for shade. Want to go out? There are many great restaurants in town or in the neighborhood – including a diner, distillery and wineries just a short walk, bike ride or drive away. Fine dining more your style? We have five Michelin-starred and five Bib-Gourmand restaurants between central Sonoma and Napa!
Your rental includes use of luxury linens, earth friendly toiletries, washer/dryer, paper supplies, hair dryers, and an iron/board. The kitchen is stocked with basic cooking ingredients and coffee.

The provided rental guide contains a generously curated list of fabulous restaurants, wineries and stores in the area to help plan your stay, personally visited regularly by the owners. Bikes are also available to ride amongst the vines. Forget something? We probably have it.
Situated on Barn House Vineyard, a CCOF certified organic micro-vineyard in the Carneros wine region of Sonoma, the vacation home sits perpendicular to a mixed-use structure on the property where the owners reside and are available to guide your Sonoma experience – or not – you tell us! Our vineyard is active and while we will try to keep vineyard operations limited during your stay the vines tell us when they need tending to so you may see limited vineyard farming activity during your stay. Our organic Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes are used to produce wine under our family-owned label, Grand Scheme Wines. If you’re interested in learning more about our operation we’d be happy to show you around and offer a private wine experience.
