    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.

    Great stay with fantastic breakfast

    June 10, 2013

    My wife and I stayed here for four nights earlier this month. Roxanne is a gracious hostess who truly enjoys interacting with her guests. Her breakfasts were outstanding - each a three course meal! We stayed in the Echezeaux Room for our stay. Well appointed with plenty of space, although the bathroom was smaller than other rooms. You have the choice of using the room's private balcony or the common balcony to look out over the vineyard - both offered great views. The inn itself is located in Northern Sonoma County, but conveniently located within 15 - 25 minutes of several great vineyards. Thanks again for a great experience!

    Beautiful views, friendly owner, lovely room, and a delicious gourmet breakfast. The owner went overboard to help me celebrate my birthday. Unlike some B & B's, the proprietor had just the right touch to be there for guests while imparting a sense of privacy as well. Sandra

    Great romantic getaway

    May 10, 2013

    We stayed in the Vouvray room and found the room to be roomy, clean and up to date, especially considering the age of the inn. The view of the vineyards is priceless. The highlight of our stay was the hospitality of Roxanne, the innkeeper. The food she prepared was tasty and well presented. Nice French twist on the recipes. Roxanne made us feel at home and was very good at facilitating conversation with other guests at breakfast. Overall, this was a great place to stay in wine country and have a romantic getaway.

    Delicious 3-course breakfasts

    April 09, 2013

    We had a restful vacation just staying at the B & B without any wine tasting at all. There are comfortable seating areas inside and outside with outstanding views of the Alexander Valley. We borrowed a DVD to watch and popped the provided popcorn in the common room microwave. It was home away from home minus distractions and responsibilities.

    A gem for a wine-country stay.

    March 09, 2013

    The inn was in a lovely spot by the vineyards; the room was very comfortable and well-appointed; the 3-course breakfasts were delicious beyond compare. Our inkeeper helped us with suggestions for the day and led us to a delightful winery up the hill which was a highlight. Absolutely give this inn a 5 star!

    Can't Wait to Visit Again!

    January 29, 2013

    We had a wonderful stay at Auberge! Our adult children gave us 2 nights at this lovely B&B for our Anniversary LAST year (2012.) Due to circumstances beyond our control, we made 2 reservation dates and had to cancel both of them. Our Innkeeper, Roxanne, was very gracious, kind, and accommodating. A year later, 2013, we finally made it! Roxanne never complained about our changes, she only helped us make it happen! The room was charming....we loved it! The breakfast is excellent; plenty of food with wonderful tastes. We look forward to our next stay!!
