March 14, 2024

We had the chance to work with Chef Tammy and her team for my daughter’s wedding at the Boatique Winery. Our daughter wanted her wedding to be something a little less traditional. So we decided to host it in the backyard yard of the Vintners home on the winery. Tammy put together an incredible farm-to-table […]

Tammy the owner was wonderful, we had a great place to park near the grapevines. We preordered a Charcuterie board for our arrival and breakfast for the next day. They were delicious! Forgot to take a picture of the charcuterie board ☹️ Breakfast was huge and we have leftovers for another breakfast.

The food was absolutely amazing!

This was the perfect break from hectic San Francisco life! John was so kind and helpful! His farm is lovely and his dogs, mini pigs and chickens are so cute!!

Top quality hosts

January 1, 2023

steve

We had a wonderful stay with Mark and Tammy at their ranch. They were absolutely top quality hosts, and this stay genuinely feels like a proper bed and breakfast.AirBnB has a lot of really basic, barebones, boring, sterile apartments and hotel equivalents, and we’ve stayed in a ton of them, but this is not that. […]

This was such a great find! I highly recommend this property.The hosts are lovely, and the dinner and the breakfast we ordered were wonderful. They have “to go” boxes if you can’t finish it all, you just have to ask. The bed was super comfy. The shower was lovely. Lots of games. Great wifi. Lovely […]

Just as Described

We were visiting family and vacationing in Lakeport, CA and the Ripe Choice Farm was the perfect location. We were right down the road from our family and it was a great base for exploring Northern California (local and day trips). Lakeport is a rural, small town area and it’s just how we like it. […]

There was a certain magic about this place – this was quite literally the best night of sleep I have had in any lodging property.The place is immaculate and there is plenty of parking under the apple trees. The town nearby, Kelseyville, is a quaint farming town with several outstanding wineries and a great brewery […]
