We were recently invited to a destination wedding in Sonoma, CA and immediately decided to go! Several years ago we took a week long trip to the Napa Valley and had a wonderful time, and have wanted to return ever since. We are excited to explore Sonoma--and have had fun planning our trip.
The wedding takes place at Sebastiani Winery, a beautiful family owned vineyard that will make an idyllic setting for a wedding. The day before the wedding we plan to spend tasting and touring at several other boutique vineyards. We plan to start our day with a bit of sparkly at Gloria Ferrer Champagne Caves and then move onto a private barrell tasting at Kosta Browne--a very small producer whose wines recieve rave reviews. My husband is excited for lunch at Taylors Refresher's--an old school style burger stand in St. Helena. In the afternoon, we will head to Merry Edwards for a private tasting. Merry was one of the first female winemakers in the Napa Valley and she is a well known and respected winemaker.
Our day will conclude with dinner at The Girl and The Fig--a french country bistro, with what else...more wine!
This was a very BIG help!! We have never been to Sonoma and needed to be pointed in the right direction. Your blog was concise & informative. Thanks, Ed
