What does California Wine Country living mean to you?

California Wine Country has a unique aesthetic all its own and since we’ve been in this area for over 40 years we understand the nuances of what makes this region so exhilarating. Wine Country design embodies the art of indoor outdoor living, entertaining and relaxing. We think homes should reflect the terroir of their surroundings bringing the outside in and allowing you to fully escape into the tranquility that the outdoors can offer. Color, lighting, art and accessories can transform ordinary spaces into destinations we crave. We embrace high low design using high end pieces and lower budget options to live together in a playful inviting way that allows you to have a functioning home that isn’t over or underdone and functions for your unique needs. We are inspired by the story of your family and we strive to create a home that becomes the stage for gatherings and celebrations for the pages of your life for years to come.
