For wine lovers who appreciate solid innovative design, it doesn’t get any better than waking up to vineyard views in one of the many wine regions in the US. It’s not just postcard-perfect views from one room in the house: These properties offer vineyard vistas from bed, a soaking tub, or via walls of windows—as well as from outside the property. Sip that first cup of coffee overlooking the vines, and come sunset enjoy dinner curated from local wines (maybe even born out of grapes harvested on the property) and culinary ingredients—all while taking in the vistas only a vineyard can provide.
In the US, harvesting of wine grapes extends until early November, and autumn is the perfect time to immerse yourself in the vines. Here are 14 winery Airbnb rentals nestled in vineyards. From California to New York—and lesser-known regions like Colorado and Texas—the list isn’t solely limited to European-style sprawling estates. They include a Scandi-style cottage, a converted historic railcar, and a modern farmhouse. There are even luxury amenities like an outdoor pool, a movie theater (to watch the film Bottle Shock, perhaps?), and a boccie-ball court. Keep scrolling for our favorites—grab a glass of wine and start perusing, won’t you?
With five bedrooms and seven baths in the 9,000-square-foot custom home—plus an outdoor pool, open layout, wrap-around deck, and a chef-grade kitchen—you can bring your friends and host a major harvest party in one of America’s lesser-known wine regions: the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail. With a three-acre vineyard on the property’s 80 acres, plus views of Grand Traverse Bay, you may never want to leave this blissful spot—except to visit local tasting rooms, of course.
This recently renovated four-bedroom modern farmhouse is packed with a mix of luxuries (like a built-in BBQ and speaker system—not to mention an outdoor pool and hot tub) and vacay essentials (such as board games and pool floats). Also included is a two-bedroom, two-bath guest house so a group can further spread out in comfort. It’s located on a seven-acre estate, which means there’s plenty of privacy. There are many areas from within the home—as well as the pool—where vineyards are in view.
Set on a nine-acre vineyard, this two-bedroom, two-bath modern barn dials back the exterior design to evoke a bygone era. It’s owned by an architect and photographer couple, and it’s perfect for two couples traveling together. There are two primary suites and the design features include Restoration Hardware bed frames. The home also features original art and the pièce de résistance: a 45-foot covered porch overlooking Dry Creek Valley vineyards.
Inside this adorable stone cottage on the grounds of Bluemont Vineyard (and built from stone on the property) is a one-bedroom, one-bath accommodation. It’s a former loafing shed that was once home to the property’s horses and is now updated to accommodate overnight guests. A custom stone shower and open floor plan await inside, while the outside features a porch with swivel rockers to take in the sunset.
Tucked into a restored 1912 railcar now stocked with modern luxuries (such as a washer and dryer and a 50-inch TV), this is a new one-bedroom accommodation at Warner Vineyards, which has been making wine since 1938. That makes it Michigan’s second-oldest winery. During business hours at the tasting room, walk over for a drink—perhaps the winery’s sparkling Riesling, Chardonnay Reserve, or Cabernet Franc—and relax along the Paw Paw River.
Book this modern one-bedroom farmhouse-style cottage that includes access to a private 40-foot boccie-ball court and you’ll get lots of bonus hygge (after all, the owners call it Hygge Haus). Views of a neighboring biodynamic vineyard are best seen from the redwood deck’s set of Adirondack chairs and picnic table. The interiors are minimalist-minded in their design, with natural light, lots of texture, and various neutral shades.
Because this one-bedroom, one-bath 800-square-foot loft is on the loft level of a charming barn and boasts a deck, the views of Gracianna Winery’s Pinot Noir vineyards in this Sonoma County hotspot can’t be beat. And if it’s a late-night or early-morning harvest, you may even fall asleep to the sound grapes coming off the vine. A tasting room pouring the winery’s wines—Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Zinfandel—is also on property. For a chill vibe, walk approximately one minute to the banks of the Russian River.
No, that fortress-like castle isn’t in Tuscany, it’s actually in a state that’s better known for its cheese than its wine. With four bedrooms and two and a half baths, there’s also a wine cellar (with retired Maker’s Mark whiskey barrels), a movie theater, a piano room in which to entertain, a dining table crafted from a 1914 John Deere plow, and a chandelier that was once a hay trolley. Located on a 20-acre parcel that includes a working vineyard, this is a new rental as of 2022.
A balcony overlooking vineyards (there are six wineries within three miles) is a huge perk of this two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath winery Airbnb. Vines are also literally outside the door and adjacent to an outdoor seating area. Walls of windows frame the wine-country lifestyle, and there are wine accents throughout, like a wine barrel turned into a sink in one of the baths.
Looking for a road trip not too far outside New York City? The Finger Lakes region is an unexpected destination for delicious wine—and practically unbeatable travel-wise if you live on the East Coast. This deeply charming Parisian-inspired apartment is nestled right in downtown Ithaca, which is located at the base of Cayuga Lake, one of the Finger Lakes American Viticultural Areas (a.k.a. AVAs). Beyond being close to vineyards and some of the best wineries, this romantic home is steps away from Ithaca Commons, the famous gorges, plenty of coffee shops, and the historic Cornell University campus. The apartment itself boasts 10-foot ceilings, enviable crown molding, and decor accents that feel chic, not cheesy.
Stay on-site at Freehand Cellars, located in Wapato, Washington. Sure, you’ll get unparalleled access to wine tours (and great wine), but you’ll also look out of your suite at sweeping willow trees and sprawling vineyard views. The unit itself has plenty of comfy fixtures (hello, handsome leather sofas!) and a covered outdoor hot tub for romantic evenings. The winery itself sits on eight acres of grapes, rosebushes, and orchards, so though you might come for the wine, you’ll stay for the gorgeous bouquets and apple picking. Freehand Cellars makes wines of all kinds, whether you’re looking for a deep, dark Cabernet, or a crisp white wine.
This luxurious château, nestled in the Willamette Valley (one of Oregon’s AVAs), is conveniently located near a handful of good wine tasting opportunities (think: wine flights full of Merlot, French rosés, and Italian red wines), plus Rosedale Fruit Farm, which offers hands-on fruit picking (we recommend going during cherry season). The space itself is decorated in rich jewel tones, ornate frames and mirrors, and sparkling accents, but it doesn’t feel overstuffed or dated. Plus, the fridge comes pre-stocked with snacks and essentials. The property is worth exploring too, thanks to the many wildflower patches and ponds.
Stay at this ultramodern cottage that sits on a 47-year-old family-owned Pommard vineyard in Oregon’s Willamette Valley (which the kids are saying is the new Napa—don’t say we didn’t tell you first). As a guest, you’re free to roam around the vineyard at your leisure. After all, it’s literally in your backyard. The house offers two bedrooms, an (admittedly small) kitchen, fireplace, and outdoor rocking chairs overlooking the vineyard. Design-wise, this vineyard stay is impressive too. The owners’ eye for detail is tasteful and minimalist, with a slight Western touch that gives it some charm.
Yep, there’s rolling hills, award-winning wines, and lots of varietals right down in Texas. This stay, located in Texas’s Hill Country, is charming enough that you’ll be tempted to just buy a few bottles and drink them there. The colorful exterior, spacious covered patio, panoramic windows, fire pit, hot tub, among other features, leave no boxes unchecked. The decor and furniture feel welcoming and lived-in (without making you want to grab a bottle of disinfectant), and you can easily hop in the car and drive to nearby vineyards, restaurants, and more.
Craving an escape? From colorful carry-ons to cleverly designed packing cubes (how did we ever travel without them?), shop everything you need to make the journey in style—and as streamlined and stress-free as possible.
