We’ve covered beer-inspired getaways and wine-fueled retreats, but we decided it was time to throw Airbnb into the boozy vacation mix. From historic wineries to quirky distilleries, here are seven places to get a buzz on and rest your head.
The Stone Cottage at Bluemont Vineyard in VA
With pages and pages of glowing five-star reviews, The Stone Cottage is number one on our list for a reason. The cottage is tucked away in the orchards at Bluemont Vineyard in Virginia, and in a past life was a home for horses. Now, it’s fully equipped to give human guests a romantic getaway in the countryside. Bonus: during the farming season, you can pick your own apples and peaches in the surrounding orchards.
Authentic Winery House with Pool in Sicily
For the ultimate getaway, go to one of the countries that love wine the most – Italy. This Bnb is housed in a home that dates back to 1860, located in the stunning Sicilian countryside. Take a dip in the pool, or head to the beach, which is just a short drive away. Wander in the orchards and enjoy fresh citrus and figs, and spend the evenings sipping red wine and carb-loading.

Reviewers rave about the welcoming, comforting experience – “a dream house in a real winery.” Located in Healdsburg, CA, the winery features several estate grown wines, including a Petite Syrah and a Sauvignon Blanc.
Historic Brewery in Galena, IL
This historic home was formerly known as the Illinois Brewery in the early 1800s, and though it’s completely renovated and updated, it retains all of its authentic charm.

The owners of this Bnb run the Galena Brewery downtown, and invite visitors to come down for a complimentary beer.
