WINE TOURS AND TASTINGWINE TOURS AND TASTING
[ OVERVIEW ]The coastal breeze, morning fog, summer sun, and winter rain all have a role in making the wines of Sonoma county among the best in the world. Also making the wine so well loved? People like YOU.
And right out the gate, we’ll admit a tiny little bias: the wines of west Sonoma are extra special. As any oenophile will tell you, the Sonoma coast appellation has earned a special shout-out. Regardless of taste and palette, we’re here to curate a wine tasting experience to remember. From humble family-run vineyards that just happen to produce some of the world’s best wines to luxury estates who win awards the world over, Sonoma has it all.
Your wine tour can be as simple as having a knowledgeable designated driver or a meticulously planning group experience with tastings, food, and insider recommendations. From iconic wineries to off-the-beaten-path natural wine purveyors, we’ll build a day around your style, region, budget, and mood. Or, you can just sip your way through Sonoma with the loosest of agendas.
If you want amazing wine without the stress of planning - or driving - we’ll make it happen.
