(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.

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 Stay at Hacienda Sonoma
We were looking for a place in Sonoma to celebrate a milestone anniversary with our adult sons and their girlfriends and so glad we chose this property. Bridget is the consummate host, always responding to any enquiries quickly pre-booking and during our stay. She has a beautiful place and perfect for the 6 of us. It's in a quiet neighborhood in Kenwood but it was easy to navigate everywhere. Her house is much bigger then you think based on the listing (around 3000 sq feet). Bridget has such a lovely garden, very relaxing to look at. Everything was very clean when we arrived. The 3 bedrooms and bathrooms were all a good size and very comfortable. Though we didn't cook much other than breakfast, we still loved the gourmet kitchen. One of the highlights of our trip was we had a pizza making contest between the 3 couples using the Italian wood burning oven she has at this property, and we had so much fun using it. She has an outdoor bocce court that is very nice (though we didn't use it much) as we ended up playing billiards upstairs a lot and just listening to music on the whole house sound system. Bridget also has arrangements with 4 different chefs that will come to the house and prepare a meal for you and we were so glad we decided to do this as it was such a fun evening and a delicious meal with Chef Bryan and Sous Chef Denise. If we ever have another family vacation in the Sonoma or Napa area we would definitely try and book this place again.

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.

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!

Bridget recommend a private chef; she was fantastic! She cooked the 4 course meal in the beautiful, well stocked kitchen ….delicious! Bridget also recommended Mayo family reserve for wine and food pairing. This was truly a highlight of our five day trip. The tasting room is within walking distance. Bridget was so gracious and helpful. Quick responses and answered all our questions. Great place to stay can’t wait to get to wine country again

Paradise in Wine Country
Hacienda Sonoma is everything it advertises to be and more. The home is beautiful with bountiful gardens surrounding it. Bridget has provided everything needed to make for a perfect vacation. It's in a central Sonoma County location that makes it easy to travel it from one end to the other. One bonus we took advantage of was to have one of the chefs Bridget recommended to come in and make dinner for us. Chef Travis Gee and his wife Lanni were simply amazing and provided an unbelievable meal for us. He suggested some wines to pair with his dishes and it was perfect. Don't miss out on this opportunity. We hiked, tasted wine, ate out (The Girl and the Fig in Sonoma is awesome) and relaxed. We recommend this property as highly as possible.

Napa / Sonoma getaway at Hacienda Sonoma
The Hacienda Sonoma was top notch in all aspects. From the very initial inquiry until the day we checked out Bridget was helpful, informative, responsive, etc. and really made this experience seamless and easy. The house itself is incredible, the perfect place for our group of two couples. We used the full service kitchen, sat outside and enjoyed the gorgeous gardens, did some reading in front of the working fireplace, played a few rounds on the bocce court, and even did some laundry. The place has everything you need. Would highly recommend as a very nice property and ideal place to stay while exploring the valleys.
