Why we like it

Varenna at Fountaingrove is a 322-bed continuing care retirement community spread across 29 acres in the rolling hills of Santa Rosa's Fountaingrove neighborhood. Family-owned by Gallaher Signature Living, Varenna is their flagship property and has been nationally recognized as one of the best CCRCs in the country.

The community offers apartment homes and single-level casitas with wine country views of oak trees, lakes, and golf courses, alongside a full suite of luxury amenities including multiple dining venues, a wine cave, swimming pool, movie theater, and art studio.

  • Solid safety record

    A mostly clean inspection record: 4 serious and 1 minor citations across 23 state inspections. Nothing here stands out as a red flag, though it's still worth asking how any past issues were resolved.

  • 29-acre wine country campus

    Sprawling grounds with walking paths, picturesque views of Sonoma County hills, and outdoor spaces designed for year-round enjoyment of the Mediterranean climate.

  • Nationally recognized CCRC

    Gallaher Signature Living's flagship property, recognized nationally as one of the best continuing care retirement communities — offering independent living through memory care on one campus.

  • Resort-caliber amenities

    Multiple dining venues including a ristorante, trattoria, and bar; wine cave and cellar; movie theater; art studio; pool and spa; fitness center; and salon — more akin to a luxury resort than a typical retirement community.

  • Family-owned operation

    Owned and operated by Gallaher Signature Living — family ownership often translates to more personal, resident-first decision-making.

  • Large-scale community

    At 322 beds, this is one of the larger communities in the area — the resort feel is a strength for some families, but others may prefer something more intimate.
