Airbnb hosts in America’s hottest viticultural areas have little to w(h)ine about. The newly minted search function for “vineyard” on the app proved successful this summer in opening wine country to more visitors.
The vacation rental company reported on Wednesday that hosts of lodgings in the vineyard category earned a collective $270 million in the second quarter, stretching from April-June 2022. Unsurprisingly, hosts in the state of California earned the most during that time, reporting combined earnings of $61 million.
