This virtual tour documents a native, terroir-derived style that has evolved dramatically since the days when the region looked to European chateaux for inspiration. These ranges of styles--as well the varied approaches to managing environmental factors--is broad and captivating and pays homage to wine-country living in an atmosphere of understated, family-focused hospitality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe California wine country is a region without distinct edges. In recent decades, this region has come to be defined by its lifestyle just as much as its wines.

Central to this distinct way of life is the indoor-outdoor experience; today's homes seamlessly integrate the region's sublime scenery and climate with its cuisine and lifestyle. \u003ci\u003eAt Home in the Wine Country\u003c\/i\u003e pays homage to a region that is ever innovating, adapting, and evolving and showcases the best of design and lifestyle in California's iconic landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeather Sandy Hebert\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe New Architecture of Wine\u003c\/i\u003e (Gibbs Smith, fall 2019).
