The coastal grandmother aesthetic may have ruled our outdoor mood boards for the last few years, but this summer a new vibe is taking its place – and it's calling us to wine country. It’s less Hamptons holiday, more Napa Valley weekender, and McGee & Co's just-dropped outdoor collection makes a compelling case for why this is the look to know now.
This summer, Shea McGee's trading breezy seaside palettes for layered textures, tailored stripes, and relaxed silhouettes that feel lifted straight from The Parent Trap. Simply put, if 2026 has a defining outdoor decorating trend, consider it this.
So rather than waiting until outdoor season is in full swing, consider this your cue to get ahead of the curve. Below, you'll find the McGee & Co pieces worth adding to your cart now if a wine-country-worthy backyard tickles your fancy.
This poolside dining setup is perfect for outdoor hosting season. The sink-into woven Haviland Outdoor Dining Chairs bring that signature Napa texture, while the classic Linwood Teak Dining Table adds warmth.
Shot among rolling vineyards, in the rain no less, the new McGee & Co. drop leans fully into that California ease: wicker seating that invites you to linger, tailored cushions in softly striped neutrals, and polished tabletop pieces that get you ready for a long alfresco lunch.
The overall look is unmistakably resort-inspired, but not in a glossy or overstyled way – rather, it captures that casual 'Nancy Meyers patio' look that her film set homes are famous for, where everything looks beautiful yet entirely lived in.
And with the right pieces, your own backyard could double as a Nancy Meyers film location this summer.
This vineyard veranda captures everything that makes the wine-country aesthetic so appealing: tailored upholstery, soft neutrals layered with classic stripes and florals, and silhouettes that feel vintage-inspired.
To style the look you want, anchor your space with one hero furniture piece (choose between the luxurious Pomeroy Lounge Chair or the relaxed Haviland Sofa), layer in a patterned rug, then build up your vineyard-inspired veranda with cushions, tabletop pieces, and patterned accents.

Of course, natural materials are important. Think Bamboo Flatware, Wicker Baskets designed to carry your plates, Terracotta Planters, and relaxed linen blends that add warmth and texture to your patio.
Tempted? Below, I’ve rounded up the standout buys from the collection that will bring this wine-country mood home – from versatile lounge seating to the styling accents that make an outdoor space feel finished.
