Wine Tasting in Sonoma

For a spectacular getaway full of luxury and wine, look no further than the famed Sonoma Wine Country in California. Its award-winning wineries feature the best vintages California has to offer, and you’ll find plenty to do and see in between tastings. We can arrange private tours of wineries, and you’ll find yourself viewing the majestic beauty of wine country from a stretch limousine.

Where to go:

• Del Dotto’s Cinghiale Vineyard: Located on the sprawling Sonoma coast overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the Cinghiale Vineyard is celebrated for its exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines.Cave-aged wines are richer and bolder than other wines, and you’ll enter the cave and taste it right out of the barrel.
• Stonestreet: Known for their remarkable Cabernet Sauvignons, Stonestreet is a must visit for bold wine-enthusiasts. For the ultimate wine tasting experience, book a custom tasting tour where you can try wines based on your specific preferences, as well as tour the breathtaking Alexander Mountain Estate.
