The bubbles get sabred and then brunch turns into a full-on moment where every plate lands like it was made just for you (because it was). 🥂

No crowds. No stress. Just your people, your home, and aChampagneSabrageaking the whole birthday brunch feel effortless.

When the ingredients are this fresh, the plate does the talking.

Our burrata salad is built around what’s in season—then finished with a glossy balsamic glaze you’ll want on every bite.

We made it to the big screen! 🍿🎥

Goodness Gracious was recently featured on — a lifestyle series hosted by Telly Award winner Tara Polly, airing nationally on Travel Channel, CNBC, and local NBC, CBS, and FOX affiliates, with streaming on Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire. Her YouTube channel is easily accessible . We linked it in our bio so you can watch the full episode!

We had the honor of preparing a private fine dining experience for host Tara at one of our stunning partner properties — and I couldn’t be more proud of our team for bringing it to life.

The HauteSheet spotlights the people, places, and cultural moments shaping modern California living, and being counted among them is something we’re truly excited for.

Let us know what you think of the episode!

Our team visited The Epicurean Connection to learn more about where we source our ingredients—and to deepen our understanding of the craft, care, and people behind what we serve.

Owners Sheana Davis & Ben Sessions shared their extensive knowledge and passion for cheesemaking, and we took a hands-on class together. It was educational, genuinely fun as a team bonding day, and a reminder of what we’re committed to: supporting local makers and sharing good, clean, and fair practices with our community.

(And yes—everyone left with homemade cheese.)

We bring the calm to you.

Start your Wine Country morning like a local with our Yoga + Bubbles and Brunch experience. A professional yogi brings everything needed—mats, props, and gentle music—for a 60-minute vinyasa flow suitable for all levels, set against the backdrop of your vacation property's stunning views. Once you've awakened your body and centered your mind, gather with friends at a beautifully set table where our chef has prepared a seasonally inspired brunch featuring the morning's freshest local ingredients, perfectly complemented by crisp local sparkling wines. It's the ideal way to create meaningful connections while experiencing authentic Sonoma wellness traditions. 😌

A clean kitchen is part of the experience. 🍃

The meal ends, but the care doesn’t. We wipe down, wash up, and reset the space so the next moment feels just as intentional.

There’s something about a milestone birthday that deserves more than a dinner reservation.

One of our favorite ways to celebrate in Wine Country is to make the morning the main event: start with outdoor yoga, move into a hosted brunch, pop a bottle (optional sabrage for mimosas), then linger—gifts, pool time, no rushing.

If you’re planning a birthday weekend at a vacation rental, here’s why this format works:
    •    It’s structured, but still relaxed for a group
    •    It’s all in one place (no coordinating reservations + rides)
    •    It sets the tone for the rest of the weekend—connected, calm, celebratory

Yoga + Brunch & Bubbles includes: a 60-minute all-levels yoga session (we bring mats/props + set up), chef-prepared brunch with service staff, 1 bottle of local sparkling per 4 guests, dietary accommodations, and cleanup.

We understood the assignment.

They asked for a fully vegan wedding menu that still felt luxe, celebratory, and beautifully styled—and honestly… we understood the assignment.

We spent several months developing the menu together (testing, tweaking, tasting, repeating) until every dish felt like them. Plant-based, elevated, and made to be remembered:

🌱 Nova Terra vegan cheese board with all the accoutrements
🌱 Yellow bell pepper and peach shooters topped with champagne
🌱 Sonoma county mushrooms tacos with handmade blue corn tortillas and apple butter
🌱 Crispy rice flowers with sticky saffron rice

This is what we live for. 🍃

A family that hasn’t all been in the same room in who-knows-how-long, gathered around a table in Wine Country—laughing too loud, reaching over each other for seconds, and not wanting the night to end.

If your family is overdue for a proper get-together, let’s make it one worth the trip. ✨
