Bricoleur Vineyards

Bricoleur Vineyards opened in 2020 on a 40-acre Russian River Valley estate just outside downtown Windsor, the work of Sonoma natives Mark and Elizabeth Hanson. Their daughter, founder Sarah Hanson Citron, is the great-great-granddaughter of Pietro Carlo Rossi, one of the pioneers of nineteenth-century California winemaking, a lineage that runs quietly through the property's deliberate philosophy. The estate is at once a working winery (Cary Gott handles winemaking), a garden-driven culinary program, and an overnight retreat. The name itself is French for someone who builds without a fixed plan, cobbling something whole together along the way.

The Vineyard Residence is a 2,750-square-foot, four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath house designed to sleep up to eight in comfort. It can be reserved entirely or by the room, and stays include the estate's signature Rooted experience, a six-course wine-and-food pairing crafted by the winemaking and culinary teams. Beyond the house itself, guests have the property: a rose garden, fruit orchards, an olive grove, a stocked pond, bocce courts, and a Pavilion lawn. Modernized interiors with vaulted ceilings open onto a wraparound deck with vineyard and Mt. St. Helena views; the kitchen and indoor-outdoor living spaces are designed for groups gathering at length. Dog-friendly, EV charging on-site, and a concierge available throughout the stay.
