(Sonoma County TOT Certificate # 770N). Please inquire about using any of our PROMO CODES prior to booking by choosing the option to "ask a question" prior to booking.

Hacienda Sonoma is one of the few vacation rental properties within walking distance to so many wineries! Custom built in 2008 -- professionally designed and beautifully decorated, every detail has been thoughtfully considered with wonderful weekends in mind. Entertaining is easy here, and the location is perfect -- walk to nine wineries (or drive to over 50 wineries within 10 miles), walk to a nice dinner or our local market, and no one has to be the 'D.D.' on vacation. If you're a 'foodie,' this house was designed for you! Every possible amenity is available for entertaining in style, including a wood-fired pizza oven, 2 dishwashers, extra-large oven, KitchenAid stand mixer, and beautiful serving pieces.

Stay in luxurious comfort with pillow-top mattresses, spacious travertine bathrooms with lots of outlets and elbow space, two fireplaces, a bocce court, a pool table and bar, large flat-screen TV, and whole-house sound system. Our gardens are filled with flowers (plus a lavender field behind the house), a zinfandel vineyard, and herb garden. Al Fresco living / dining / and cooking areas are lit by chandeliers.

A thousand activities close by! Sonoma Valley is full of fun things to do. Whether you're into golf or skydiving, hiking or wine pairings, there's something fun for you in our area.

Girls' weekends are fun at Hacienda Sonoma, too! We can arrange for a private chef and/or massage therapists on site. Wonderful spas abound in Sonoma Valley. The best part about our location in Wine Country? No one has to be the "D.D." There's more than a full weekend of wine-tasting within a 5-block radius of our property. If you'd like to sample some of the more than 50 wineries within a 10-mile radius, let us recommend a great limo service to take you wine-tasting in style!

It's a foodie/wine-lover's paradise: Sonoma Valley has been rated as one of the top destinations in the world for food and wine, and Hacienda Sonoma was designed to be the perfect environment for enjoying them. Our kitchen is huge and extremely well equipped. When have you rented a vacation home that came with an Italian wood-fired pizza oven, a KitchenAid stand mixer, two dishwashers, two coffee pots, built-in grill, electric wine bottle opener, extra-large professional oven, and matching place settings for 20? We love to cook and entertain, and we love to do it in Wine Country style. Visit the local farmers' markets and be inspired, or, hire our chef to come and cook for a truly memorable occasion.

Fun is everywhere at Hacienda Sonoma! Our bocce court, pool table, whole-house sound system, plasma T.V., upstairs bar, Blu-Ray DVD player, DVR, DirecTV Satellite system, VCR, puzzles, board games, WiFi, and even the redwood play structure in the back yard, means that fun is had by everyone in the group.

If you are staying during the week, we can offer shorter minimum stays. Please choose the "ask owner question" option prior to booking.

Home away from home

We absolutely loved our stay in Kenwood. We enjoyed all the nearby wineries, and also loved being located between Sonoma and Santa Rosa (and closer to Guerneville, Healdsburg, and Bodega Bay). We hiked nearly every day as we had a variety of choices nearby. The house had everything we wanted or needed, and our communication with the owner was always friendly, quick, and easy. One of our favorite places we've stayed!

Spectacular Wine Country Visit

Truly a 5 Star stay at Hacienda Sonoma. My wife and I were joined by two other wonderful couples and this was their first visit to Wine Country. Having Hacienda as our base made this trip even better than expected. Bridgett was such an excellent host and provider great communication and advice! I can't imagine staying anywhere else when we plan our next visit to Napa/Sonoma! Thanks Bridgett!!! Tim & Elle

Fantastic Hacienda

The property was amazing. Clean, well stocked (very well stocked), walkable to some wineries/tasting rooms. Only 25 minutes to downtown Sonoma. The bedrooms were great, as were the kitchen and common areas. It was very nice to sit outside and watch a game on bocce. We would most definitely come back again sometime.

Amazing place in wine country

If you’re are planning a central location around Napa and Sonoma wine country you need to stay here! Absolute amazing property and the owner/host is incredibly hospitable as well. 5 star on everything. Only problem was our schedule was so busy visiting wineries we didn’t have enough time to enjoy the property as much as we would have liked to.

Highly recommend Hacienda Sonoma. The property is beautiful, welcoming, and sparkling clean. Fantastic access to hiking trails and, upon your return, the perfect outdoor area for dining and a beverage. Oh, and of course some friendly rounds of bocce We frequently rent VRBO homes and this one is on the favorite list.

Wine tasting

This house will not disappoint you! Bridget has thought of everything! She is so easy to contact in case you need anything. We contacted one of her recommended chefs and we had Chef Travis prepare us Beef Wellington for a dinner meal. The entire meal was scrumptious! Travis was engaging, and knowledgeable in the pairing of food and wine as well. We will enjoy all the family memories we made here. Thank you again, Bridget!

Fabulous wine country retreat

Hacienda Sonoma was the perfect home base for our long weekend —so convenient and close to great wineries and restaurants — and Bridget was really proactive and helpful. The bedrooms are very comfortable and private, the kitchen incredibly well stocked whether you’re just planning to make breakfasts, grill, or prepare a full gourmet meal. (We did all 3!). And the Bocce court and pool table were a fantastic treat at the end of day. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home - we hope to come back again!

The home was beautiful

Loved everything about the place! Two very minor things: we arrived late evening and the street was very dark with no way to find the house number since there were no lights on outside, and the house was very chilly since it was unusually chilly (32 degrees) the evening we arrived. Otherwise it was a perfect place, the kitchen was a cook’s dream kitchen, the space inviting and very comfortable! Bridget was super helpful and quick to assist! I would come back if in the area again!

A perfect Wine Country vacation!

Hacienda Sonoma was perfect -- we could walk to lots of wineries, the house was gorgeous, and lots of fun details (electric wine opener, wine trivia games, bunches of battery-operated candles). We loved playing bocce matches in the evening, and the huge lavender field behind the house was all in bloom and amazing! We originally thought we might want to be closer to the Sonoma Square, but we ended up only venturing in once to shop -- we all wanted to be back at the house, hanging out on the patio, with steaks on the grill instead. Definitely walk over to Mayo Reserve tasting room -- they pair 6 or 7 courses of food with different wines -- incredible! It's foodie heaven.

Beautiful Sonoma Home

Communication with Bridget was a breeze...all her recommendations were spot on.Her home is in a great area...walkable to several wineries and tasting rooms. Home is beautifully decorated and furnished, including a large "chefs kitchen". She had mentioned 4 private chefs. WE hit a homerun with chef Kelly Macdonald, who not only cooked a great meal but was a great story teller as well....great cook and very personable. High marks for Chef Kel. WE were lucky enough to meet the homeowner Bridget as she needed to stop by our last day there. She was lovely and charming....actually she reminded of a much younger Heidi Barrett . Loved everything about this home...highly recommended ...I will be back. The only complaint I had, and I did mention it to Bridget was there seemed to be a problem with wine evaporating pretty quickly in the confines of the house. Otherwise....HIGH marks!

Great property, convenient location, super-attentive host

If I could, I would have kept this gem for myself. But since we had such a great time, I know that I should give credit where it's due. It's a quiet, beautiful, tastefully decorated and thoughtfully maintained property that would make your great vacation at Sonoma even better. After my fair share of staying at "it's-still-good-let's-take-it-to-our-rental-property" or "new-from-IKEA" houses, I can say that this property looks and feels as a luxury summer house that someone would make for oneself to enjoy. We didn't have any issues that required help, but even in a day-to-day course of our vacation it didn't feel like we were left on our own (as you are sometimes when staying at private properties): the owner made sure to update us on the matters that could be important to us (not related to the property). All-in-all, we and our friends enjoyed our stay at the property, and we hope to come back there one day.
