No Place Like Home is the Blood and Wine side quest where Geralt finally gets a home of his own. Duchess Anna Henrietta gives him the vineyard Corvo Bianco, and with the help of his majordomo, Barnabas-Basil Foulty, he can turn the run-down estate into something worth coming back to. Not to be confused with the base game main quest No Place Like Home.
How to start No Place Like Home
You receive the deed to Corvo Bianco during The Beast of Toussaint. Go there and Barnabas-Basil shows you around. The quest gives 200 XP, though the XP drops once you pass level 45. Renovating everything costs 14,000 crowns in total.
First round of renovations
- General house renovation: 5,000 crowns, 3 days.
- Armor repair table: 1,000 crowns, 1 day.
- Grindstone: 1,000 crowns, 1 day.
When the house is done, Barnabas mentions an unusual discovery in the cellar: a hidden laboratory and a letter from the person who built it.
Second round of renovations
- Bed: 1,000 crowns, 1 day. Bonus vitality.
- Weapon racks: 500 crowns, 1 day. Two extra racks.
- Armor stands: 500 crowns, 1 day. Two extra stands.
- Guest room: 1,000 crowns, 2 days.
- Stable: 2,000 crowns, 2 days. More stamina for your horse.
- Garden: 2,000 crowns, 2 days. Grow herbs, make dyes and convert mutagens.
Tips
- The Playing House achievement can sometimes fail to unlock. Save before the first renovation so you can reload if it does.
- The grindstone and armor table are worth getting early, since their bonuses are handy throughout Blood and Wine.
- Corvo Bianco is also where the expansion’s epilogue, Be It Ever So Humble…, takes place.
