Our property is smack dab in the middle of one of the most prestigious wine growing regions in Sonoma County - Dry Creek Valley. The First Crush Cottage is just five miles out of the historic, quaint town of Healdsburg. This renovated, charming, modern cottage provides it all.

Spectacular vineyards surround the meticulously landscaped grounds. It offers terrific location and access to some of the best wineries and restaurants in the world.

The cottage is walking distance to wineries and the historic Dry Creek General Store and just six minutes by car to downtown Healdsburg.

Every stay at the First Crush Cottage also includes a complimentary tasting at world renowned winery - Lambert Bridge. This seated tasting will include a flight of Bordeaux wines expertly paired with local cheeses. This experience will take place in the comfort of their redwood barrel room and is hosted by a Lambert Bridge wine educator. The tasting is valid up to four people and reservations are required at least 24 hours advance. The value of this experience is $75 per person.

Enjoy our garden from May to October and help yourself to the complimentary fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs located on the grounds.

Cozy Cottage

We had a wonderful stay! The setting was stunning, nestled in the vineyards and the Cottage was very well laid out with comfortable beds and lovely design. One of our guests had such a great time, that she plans to come back with her spouse!

Another wonderful stay at this fabulous VRBO. Clean, comfortable, up-to-date and has everything you need. Yard and outside area are great - wonderful patio, beautiful views and a fabulous garden as well. We always looked forward to returning to relax after a busy day of wine tasting. Kimberly and Nicole are great to deal with. We hope to be back next summer. Thanks again for a great stay.

Beautiful place and a wonderful host

My family and I stayed here for the Thanksgiving holiday and had an absolutely wonderful stay. The place is well equipped and very cozy with a wood burning fireplace, beautiful outdoor spaces (including multiple fire pits) and comfortable bedrooms. The host is also amazing - communication before, during and after was easy and included fantastic recommendations. And to top it all off, they even treated my family and I to a complimentary tasting at a local winery. Would definitely recommend!

Outstanding Wine Country Getaway!

We absolutely love staying at Kimberly’s house, right outside of Healdsburg. It is a perfect size for our group of four, well decorated and sitting right in the middle of the Dry Creek Valley and a quick walk to the Dry Creek General Store. A great experience with a great host!

Amazing wine country property

This home was perfect for our trip to Sonoma Wine Country. It was in very close proximity to several great wineries and very close to the town of Healdsburg as well. The backyard was magical with fantastic views and the home itself was well appointed and comfortable. Can’t wait to go back!

Nice cottage in Dry Creek Valley

We really liked our stay at the cottage. The only minor issue is that the property is located off Dry Creek Road and therefore exposed to some road traffic noise.

Great Sonoma Stay

This house is as described on the website. Easy to find and comfortable place to hang. It was very convenient to a few events we had to attend in the Dry Creek area. But not real close to downtown Healdsburg if that was what you are looking for. Very well stocked kitchen. Would return

Perfect Cottage for Winery Visits!

We absolutely loved the location of this home as it is within close proximity to many outstanding wineries. Views of hillsides and even their own rose gardens and grapevines out back are so pleasant to see and make a perfect vibe for your trip. Cottage is well-outfitted, nicely decorated and cozy but nicely suited to 4 people.
