Tucked away in a wooded spot on Howell Mountain, well-known for its award-winning vineyards, this European-inspired home has more than a touch of the grand chateau about it. From the imposing front door, right through to its luxurious master suite and its sociable outdoor space, it's a French fantasy suited to both family getaways and groups of friends here on a wine tour. Here you'll be able to reconnect with nature and enjoy the rustic scenery – all the while living like royalty. The home is packed with character, with vaulted ceilings, timber beams and plush furnishings. Light the fire in the living room on cool evenings, or sit outside as the stars fill the sky on summer nights. An open-plan kitchen adds some old-world charm, yet delivers when it comes to culinary equipment, and the romantic dining room features an eight-seat table under a glorious chandelier – perfect for special meals. And as you'd expect, there's a wine cellar. Flexible bedrooms mean the master suite can sleep up to four if necessary, and one en-suite bedroom is set a few steps from the main house in a guest house. And we just love the impressive garden room – a refuge... from the hustle and bustle of everyday life where you can admire the wild garden and listen to the soothing trickle of the fountain (or just watch TV – we won't judge). The town is less than five minutes away by car, with fifteen minutes to St Helena and Calistoga, and you're surrounded by the area's finest wineries – just take your pick and experience the views, the atmosphere and of course taste the wines produced in this special spot.

About Wine Country
Californian wines have exploded in popularity over recent years, so it’s no wonder that grape buffs are flocking to the Golden State to meet the producers and explore their favourite vineyards.
