    Inn Details

    Explore the seductive charms of Sonoma and Mendocino wine country from the centrally located Auberge on the Vineyard. Newly remodeled, and newly renamed (formerly The Shelford House), this intimate bed and breakfast enjoys a spectacular vineyard setting. Classic Queen Anne architecture and French styled decor are the defining characteristics of our accommodations. Some of our 7 distinctively decorated guest rooms feature jetted tubs for two, private decks, fireplaces, and all the modern amenities that refined travelers look for in luxury travel. Located in the charming and unpretentious town of Cloverdale, which has just been voted the "#2 Coolest Small Town in America" by Fodor's Budget Travel, we are only 90 miles north of San Francisco. Boasting a climate so consistent that you could almost set your clock by it, our visitors are nearly as happy with our weather as our sundrenched grapevines are!

    We so enjoyed the Montrachet Room, with our porch overlooking a field of lavendar and a gorgeous vineyard. Breakfasts were absolutely amazing....so gourmet, delicious and substantial, all lovingly prepared by the expert owner. Many wonderful extras...freshly baked goods and wine in the evening, fridge filled with cold beverages, coupons for wine tastings, lovely bathroom amenities. Overall, really fantastic! We WILL be back!!!

    We had a fabulous stay with Roxanne at Auberge. Our room was perfect with a magnificent view of the vineyards. The breakfasts she prepared were absolutely 5-star French gourmet. Sitting on the balcony in the evening sipping wine was delightful. It was the perfect place for our honeymoon! I hesitate to write this for fear that we'll never get reservations for our next visit.

    Highly recommend this beautiful proprty for your special occaison. Roxanne made our stay warm, wonderful and fun. She's a wonderful cook, even for my "meat and potatoes" husband, she won him over! The beautiful jetted tub right in front of the french doors made you feel like you were alone in the middle of the vineyard, it was Great! Thank you Roxanne for recommending Ferrari Carano, it was the most beautiful winery we've very been too!

    My husband and I recently spent 8 days in the wine country and stayed at this wonderful bed and breakfast. I have to say it was an amazing experience. Roxanne is a superb cook and so much fun. We stayed in the Montrachet suite and it was simply beautiful. Looking out over the vineyards and watching the sun set was breathtaking. The breakfasts were huge and so very tasty and delightful. Still craving the creme brulee french toast! Really you could have repeated that and we would have been really happy!!! Thank you for making this a wonderful experience for us.

    Our short stay at Auberge was most enjoyable and we wished we could stay longer. Searching for a rural setting preferably with classic/vintage furnishings, we found them at Auberge. What we enjoyed most were the vineyard views from our bedroom window, the verandahs, the comfortable lounge with its AV system and the classic furniture throughout the premises. Everything worked as expected despite their history. To top it all up, we relished the 3-course breakfast prepared by the warm and friendly Roxanne whom we now regard as a friend.
