Inside a California Wine Country Vineyard Estate

Designer Alison Davin of Jute worked with landscape architects Lucas + Lucas and architect ARC Design to create a true vineyard-style estate for their retired clients.

For this vineyard estate in Healdsburg, California, designer Alison Davin of Jute created spaces that are welcoming and chic but never distract from the stunning views. From expansive, open interiors filled with antiques and custom pieces to open-air entertaining spaces facing the hills of Sonoma, this home is a true Wine Country dream.

  • The dining room has the best views in the house, so the team at Jute added linen curtains to soften the harsh lines in the room while keeping the views fully intact. The dining table is made of piddy oak from Rose Uniacke in London. The dining chairs are custom, and the fabric on them is Villa Romo Ghent in Elk.

  • The family room is the busiest in the house (and also plays host to the only TV in the home). A custom slipcovered sofa is in a durable linen, Savel Aero in Flax. The Brousse chair is by Christian Liaigre; the ottoman is custom and is upholstered in Hampton Stripe by Kerry Joyce. The rug is Cortina in Alpine by Merida.

  • For the breakfast dining area, the homeowners wanted a casual, comfortable environment. The table, from Lucca Antiques, is made of reclaimed chestnut, while the chairs are by Janus et Cie with custom cushions and back pillows. The light is the Gear Chandelier by McEwen Lighting Studio.
