If you’re going to live in wine country, you want a property that celebrates the natural beauty of the landscape around you: rolling hills, sun-drenched countrysides, and of course the picturesque rows of the vineyards themselves. Whether it’s through scenic outdoor dining areas or thoughtfully designed windows that provide arresting views, these five properties seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living.
