We stayed here for a wine tasting weekend and it was fantastic! Conveniently located near safeway so we could run and grab stuff we forgot but still super close to wineries!
We’d definitely stay here again!
We really enjoyed staying here. Perfect base for our group to take in all the vineyards and sites. Great space indoors and out and owner was very welcoming and communicative. We’d stay here again for sure.

Beautiful home and property
This property was beautiful and I would definitely stay here again. Additionally, Claudia was extremely attentive to our needs. 5 stars.
We had a wonderful family stay at the wine nest. Claudia is a fabulous host: beautiful home, well appointed, comfortable beds and linens, and many thoughtful touches throughout the home make it a perfect get away. Claudia is communicative and helpful. Would stay again!

This home is exactly as pictured. We loved everything about our stay here. The beds were comfortable and the amenities were great! The neighborhood is tucked in and quiet, but just a 10-minute drive into central Healdsburg. Fantastic communication/recommendations from the owner before and during our stay. We would stay here again for sure. Great first visit into Sonoma & Napa county!

Enjoyed our stay in this property. The house was as advertised. The back yard amenities were a real plus. Enjoyed the comfortable outdoor furniture and the fire pit. Being able to park in the enclosed garage was another plus. The location is good for wine tasting around Healdsburg and the surrounding areas.

This house was ideal for a girls' wine getaway. It was very clean and had everything we could need, and the decor was cozy and stylish. The outdoor patio was the highlight and the ideal place to unwind after a day of wine tasting.
The location was perfect for visiting Healdsburg (less than 10 mins away) with lots of shopping and restaurants and being so close to Highway 101 made traveling to wineries very convenient. I would highly recommend staying here!

We had a wonderful stay at the Sonoma Wine Nest. It is centrally located in Sonoma County in a nice neighborhood in Windsor. Owners are very helpful, communicate well and allowed early check in, which was much appreciated. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Would highly recommend staying at the Sonoma Wine Nest for a wonderful experience while on a relaxing and fun wine tasting trip.

Thanks so much Hunter! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly for your next stay.
The Sonoma Wine Nest was a great choice for us during our trip to California wine country! Claudia was a pleasure to work with and the house was so cute! The beds are comfy, great water pressure, quiet neighborhood. It's also close to the main roads, making it easy to get around the area. We loved spending time in the backyard as well! Wish we would have been able to stay longer!

Great Property in Wine Country
Beautiful property ten minutes from the heart of Healdsburg. Quiet home with very comfortable furnishings. Everything you would find at home was provided. Looking forward to our next visit. Downtown Healdsburg shopping area was great. Wonderful shops and restaurants. I highly recommend this property.
Lovely home. Perfect for our group of 4.
Spent quite a bit of time out in peaceful outdoor space. Kitchen well equipped.

About the host
Hosted by Claudia Castro
I have worked in the short-term vacation industry since 2013, assisting short-term renters in Los Angeles. We have been hosting guests in Sonoma County since 2015, with our home receiving the most 5-star reviews in the area.
Our home can accommodate the pickiest traveler. Although we love dogs, we do not allow pets for guests to enjoy an allergy-free home. With an ease of check-in, comfortable sheets, and all the necessary amenities, we have prepared a home for you to fully enjoy.
It has meant a lot to us to provide a home to a fire victims, local residents who need extra rooms for relatives, and multiple patients who have come to Sonoma for treatments in San Francisco while staying near to relatives including retirees who came for a few months to enjoy all that Sonoma has to offer. Follow Sonoma wine nest on social media.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I carefully searched Napa, Sonoma, and the Russian River areas for almost 2 years before deciding on Windsor.
The Santa Rosa airport is just 7 miles from the home, providing a convenient location. The location is what makes for a great experience. Location! Location! Location!
What makes this property unique
The home is just the right size for a single tenant or a couple who occasionally host friends and family to visit. You won't feel lonely in a big home, but you will have room to have visitors stay a night. It's just the perfect size, in the perfect location, for the perfect price.
