The Farmhouse inn

Your Inspired Escape

SCROLL TO EXPLORE

Nestled in Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley, among gently rolling hills and stunningly majestic vistas, The Farmhouse Inn welcomes you to an inspired escape. Siblings Joe and Catherine discovered the Farmhouse over 21 years ago, and have poured their talents and passion into the exquisite renovation ever since.

How it all started

Five generations.
One magnificent
obsession. You.

Your Farmhouse stay will be unlike any other. Not just special, spectacular. More than memorable, magical. Our family has been here for five generations, creating meaningful experiences in a setting most sublime. We’ve cultivated long-standing connections with brilliant local artisans—cheesemakers and patissiers, brewers. And, of course our winery partners—to transform custom itineraries into treasured, life-long memories. All you have to do is get here. We’ll take it from there.

Our Philosophy

Meet the makers

Glass to glass with the masters of the Russian River Valley

When you stay at the Farmhouse, you place yourself among some of the finest wines on the planet. World-class pinot noir and chardonnay, sparkling wines, zinfandels, rosés, they’re all here, and then some. In fact, we could talk about them for days, and we do, at Wine Hour.

It’s a time when we bring everyone together, makers and connoisseurs, novices and collectors to celebrate our shared passion in an intimate setting. You’ll savor new tastes from boundary-pushing bottles, and you’ll get to know more each day. And you’ll meet Joe and connect with our friends, these inspired makers of fine wine. From ancient winemaking approaches and trendier techniques to revived grape varieties and grower triumphs, the conversation never ends.
