Larson Family Winery: Sonoma, California
Property
The Captain’s House is a comfortable Civil War era 4-bedroom house set on the pretty 70-acre Larson Family Winery in Sonoma. It’s so lovely and laid back, you’ll never want to leave! Families will especially appreciate the gas barbecue, laundry facilities, wood burning fireplace, and deck. We were here during the crush (mid-September), and the place was a hive of activity: the air was redolent of wine, and the 3 winery dogs were cavorting in the vineyards (and getting muddy in the adjacent creek, it must be said). Best of all, a friendly on-site tasting room means no one has to jump on the designated driver grenade!
Location
45 minutes from San Francisco, 10 minutes from the Sonoma Plaza, and 20 minutes from Napa.
Sleeps
2-7 (downstairs bathroom is accessible only through the twin-bedded room though, so families will need to carefully consider who sleeps where).
Highlights
Bocce ball courts. Miniature donkeys and goats for feeding and petting. Horseback riding through the vineyards.
Good to know
2-night minimum (3-night minimum for holidays), though the Larsons have been known to be flexible. Pet friendly.
