Highlights

It is important to note that I am very selective about my choice of wines. With over 400 wineries in Sonoma county, many small, fine wine oriented producers are overlooked by large scale industrial operations. We will taste some of Sonoma’s most heralded wineries (likely ones you’ve never heard of)- I like to champion true artisans and support small businesses! Tours are a maximum of 4 guests to allow for an intimate and personalized experience.

Inclusions

What's included

Private transportation
Two full flights of wine at two different wineries, only for over 21 year olds
Air-conditioned vehicle

What's not

You can’t taste wine on an empty stomach! We’ll stop for lunch in between wineries

Itinerary

Have you heard about natural wine but don't know where to start? Allow me to explain the fundamentals of this fascinating subject while we visit two of Sonoma's best wineries. We'll talk sustainable farming (the differences between industrial, organic, and biodynamic), wild yeast fermentation, traditional winemaking practices, and the best part, talking about and tasting the wines themselves. In between wineries we'll lunch at a renowned Sonoma county restaurant, where we can taste some local wines as they were intended: alongside a meal. Vegetarians are easily accommodated!

About Napa & Sonoma

Napa and Sonoma are California's best-known wine valleys north of San Francisco, a landscape of vineyards, oak hills, small towns and tasting rooms.

Napa Valley is a narrow valley about fifty kilometres long, running north from the town of Napa through Yountville, St Helena and Calistoga, with vineyards on the valley floor and hills on either side. Sonoma Valley lies to the west, over the Mayacamas range, with the historic Sonoma Plaza, a Spanish mission and the village of Glen Ellen. Both are known worldwide for wine, especially Cabernet Sauvignon in Napa and Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the cooler parts of Sonoma.
