Think of a being on a walk through the grape fields on a hot summer day in the hills of Italy where the only reprieve is the oasis at the top of the hill in the form of a Spanish-styled villa, complete with cuddly Golden Labs and an infinity pool lagoon to cool off in. This is what you are treated to here at Victoria's Vineyard

I have been meaning to check out this property with some friends for awhile, as it was a nice balance between getting away from LA and staying cool (as opposed to straight up camping). As we got here, Gabriel greeted us warmly and gave us such a detailed tour of the property. We came a bit late due to the traffic on the 405 and as Gabriel showed us all the property had to offered, we were a bit overwhelmed by all the amazing amenities that we could check out.

First off, we stayed in the guest house, which is a cute 2BR building halfway up the hill. The house has everything you need to live on your own for a weekend. The bedrooms were really comfortable and the bathrooms were spacious and the tall ceilings and natural lighting created such a relaxing atmosphere. We recommend you bring food as there is a fully equipped kitchen to make a feast for you and your companions. After you make food, you have an amazing backyard space with sofas, umbrellas, tables for you to enjoy a meal.

Outside of the guest house, there is a BBQ/cooking/lounging area near the entrance of the property. We spent the majority of our evening here listening to music, using the grill to make steaks and make s’mores in the fire pit. It does get a wee bit chilly in the evening so make sure you get a blanket to snuggle up in! If you need a place to nap, the hammock is a nice place to do that here!

Outside of sleep and food, the property also has a swing area where you can lull yourself to relaxation. Or if you are looking to challenge yourself, there is a 15 ft or so rope climb that you can impress your friends with. But onto the lagoon. The property owners are nice enough to allow us to use the pool. It is well shaded and the water is a nice way to cool off from the summer heat. The pool is an infinity pool looking out onto the vineyards giving you a nice romantic view. But of course, that serene moment may be interrupted by the playful puppies that run around and play in the pool as well.

Overall, I can’t say enough about how wonderful the property is and how welcomed the property owners made us feel. They made sure we had everything we needed to have a good time and even let us sample some of their home made wine. If you are looking for a relaxing intimate weekend with a few close friends, look no further than Victoria's Vineyard!
