Sonoma Wine Country - California - July 2019 - Roadtrip Vlog
Sonoma Wine Country is the other half of the wine producing region of the Bay Area. Although both areas share a world famous wine and food heritage, both could not be more different from each other. Sonoma is laid back with wide open wineries and less tourists.

Our friends Bobby and Jessica invited us to Napa for Jessica's birthday party - a house party on a vineyard! We said yes (of course!) and flew into SFO where we rented a Silvercar Audi A4 for the drive to Sonoma (Healdsburg) California. This region is also known as the Russian River valley and is known for the pinot noir from here (Napa is about an hour east of this). We went wine tasting at Chateau Diane, then Ferrari Carrano, and eventually ended up back at the vineyard house. We played badminton and grilled out, and had a chef cater a vegetarian dinner for us at sunset (we got some EPIC drone shots!). We ended the night tasting wine and watching movies under the stars - if you ask me it was a pretty amazing birthday. Thanks for the invite Bobby and Jessica, now we have to think of an epic birthday adventure to invite YOU two on!

Our day in Sonoma Wine Country! - April 2016
Our day in Sonoma! We were able to hit a total of 4 wineries (ACKK!)! Call us crazy, but it was a really good treat! :) We had a great start to the morning at Ledson Winery, then went to Landmark Winery after our driver had recommended this place to us to kill some time. We then went to Hanzell Winery (MUST!) and ended at Jacuzzi Winery.

$50,000,000 SUPER ULTRA MODERN MEGA VINEYARD ESTATE NAPA VALLEY CALIFORNIA
THE ULTIMATE VINEYARD ESTATE !
IN AN ULTRA PRIVATE LOCATION !
SURROUNDED BY THE EXCLUSIVE WORLD RENOWNED VINEYARDS OF NAPA VALLEY !
(Tres Sabores, Grgich Hills Estate, Alpha Omega Winery, & Beaulieu Vineyards)
1561 S Whitehall Lane Saint Helena California 94574
7 beds 10 baths 2,229 sqft
$50,000,000 @MarkALongstreet
As though rising among the St. Helena vineyards like a megalith, this unrivaled Napa Valley Modern Vineyard Estate on 20+/- acres is the rare confluence of world-class, modern architecture & design, the highest caliber construction and an enviable, ultra-private location within minutes from town.
Having completed five years of planning, design & build, notable Bay Area architect Lewis Butler’s vision of a modern vineyard masterpiece reveals now. Whitehall Estate is commandingly sited with views of the 14+/- sweeping, verdant acres of AVA Rutherford cabernet sauvignon grapes that surround.
At 6,700sf (10,365sf under roof), this modern Residence features elements rarely found in new homes: imbued infrastructure commensurate for a hotel or subdivision, and a steel-suspended, floating system for showcasing a wine collection. Large glass walls slide open to create seamless indoor/outdoor experiences with an “only-in-California,” Mid-Century ambiance of spaciousness and light.
At the centermost core of the Residence is an oversized 21st century Chef’s kitchen and a butler’s kitchen. The sun-drenched, outdoor pavilion features an open-air Kitchen and an infinity-edge swimming pool and spa.
The over-sized Master suite encompasses a spa-like bath, a voluminous walk-in closet and a private office or yoga/meditation room.
An adjacent Spa House of 776sf (1,400sf under roof) is flexible for use as an art space or yoga/fitness studio. Visiting guests, family or personal staff will luxuriate in the 2,250sf (3,000sf under roof), three-bedroom Guest House.
The Whitehall vineyard, in its third leaf, will soon enjoy its first harvest enabling the new owner to consider creating a private label Cabernet Sauvignon wine. The Whitehall winery license has been approved for a 10,000 gallon per year production facility.

Retrospect Vineyards House in Connecticut by Swatt by Miers Architects
MODERN ARCHITECTURE |
- Project name : Retrospect Vineyards House
- Location : Windsor, Connecticut, United States
- Architects : Miers Architects
- Photograph : Russell Abraham, Marion Brenner
Retrospect Vineyards, a 20-acre plot in the Russian River Valley, has been producing pinot noir grapes and selling them to nearby wineries for fifteen years. However, when the new owners bought the property in 2010 they knew they wanted to have a greater involvement in the winemaking process. The result was a modern home designed to function as both a family retreat and a working vineyard, respecting the privacy of the residents without hampering the functionality of the land.
