Backyard Hillside

We are in the starting phases of building our new home! (Make sure to check back often for update photos and inspiration). We are all extremely excited, and of course I am stressing over every last detail. The lot isn't huge, and has a pretty steep backyard hillside. I want to make use of every inch of that real estate. I've been searching for ideas of how to terrace and landscape the backyard, and came across this beauty, The Staglin Family Vineyard in Napa:

Another amazing backyard hillside is this residential project in California by landscape architect, Andrea Cochran. I just saw her work featured in House & Garden Magazine. Who wouldn't want the field of lavender as a view? You can find many more amazing landscapes on her website: acochran.com.

Below is a pic of our property. Think we can make it look anything like the above inspiration pics?
