Away We Go

We collect you from your hotel or residence and point the car toward Sonoma. As the city falls away and vineyards begin to fill the view, there is nothing left to organize — just settle in, enjoy the ride and let the day unfold.

Bubbles & Blinis

There are few better ways to arrive in Sonoma than with something sparkling in your glass. We begin with a bright, celebratory tasting at an estate chosen to ease us into the day — elegant bubbles, beautiful surroundings and caviar pairings available.

Lunch Al Fresco

Sonoma is made for long lunches outdoors. Depending on the route, we might settle into a winery patio, garden table or a favorite spot near the Plaza for fresh local food, a little shade and time to enjoy the easy pace of the valley.

The Star of the Show

Now for the centerpiece of the day. This is where we bring in one of Sonoma's standout producers — selected around your tastes, the wines you are enjoying and the kind of experience you want to remember long after the last glass is poured.

The Hidden Gem

For the final tasting, we lean into the side of Sonoma that rewards a little local knowledge. It may be a smaller producer, an unexpected view or a tasting room you might never have found on your own — the perfect final discovery before we turn for home.
