A Life Well Savored: Wine Country at Home
Wine country style homes have that certain something: they beg us to slow down. It’s not just about vineyards stretching out under golden sunlight – it’s the quiet rituals that accompany this Mediterranean beauty—hosting loved ones with care, savoring leisurely evenings, and surrounding ourselves with pieces that feel collected over time.
I moved to wine country from the city a few years back, and I have learned so much about the style. The whole vibe is Mediterranean meets Iberian with a lot of terracotta, rustic accents, and long wooden tables. The lighting also tends to be moody – not white lights, but warm.
I’ve found the benefits of living in wine country are that it’s easy to reach nature – you can go for a walk really anywhere and have a lovely view. Some of your neighbors might have goats, or donkeys or horses, so the morning sounds are definitely divine.
You’ll have enough space and you’re far enough away from your neighbors that you can have chickens and not bug anyone. And that means eggs! It essentially makes it easier for you to source part of your food. Basically it’s beautiful every day.
The cons? The parts that give you the creeps. The gigantic spiders, the moles that eat your garden, the eerie sounds of coyotes and big cats that roam around and look for animals to eat, and of course – the snakes. That means you can’t walk around your property at night during certain seasons without being careful, because you may run into several species of snakes. One thing you learn living in wine country is that most snakes are safe and don’t bother humans. They just want to eat the rodents that eat your garden. The ones you need to be careful about are the Rattlesnakes, because they’ll off you or your pet within the hour if you don’t rush to the hospital for anti-venom.
Maybe let’s talk about something that’s a bit ligher – wine country home design. This season, we’re embracing the serene sophistication of wine country living.
