“This place is amazing. Stunning vineyard views and outstanding wine. Dan O’Connell, the owner, is knowledgeable and passionate about his craft while also being a truly delightful person to work with. Our company has held two business meetings here and, if I have it my way, our next Fall meeting will be here as well. They do a lot of weddings (I understand), and I can absolutely see why. Such a beautiful property.” – Michael WIlson (Director of Marketing Nlyte Software)
“Had a business event here with a vendor and absolutely loved this place. I don’t like wine or so i thought! After sampling his, I bought 4 bottles to take home. I’m excited to have my wife try them as she loves wine. The experience, the view, and the staff are amazing. I would recommend this venue for anyone!” – James (Nlyte Software event attendee)

Agriculture
Vine Hill House is located in a very special agricultural area of Sonoma County, which is a Right-to-Farm county. This means agriculture is given priority over other uses. We and our neighbors operate vineyards, orchards, and tree farms. Vine Hill House is located amongst these operating agricultural lands that may include dust, odor, noise, pesticide applications, and other nuisances associated with agricultural activities. The impact on Vine Hill House from these activities is minimal.
