The Great 72 Hour Wine Escape - ESCAPE TO SONOMA
Only a few places on the planet have exactly the right combination of soil, sun, rain and geography for growing grapes of exceptional quality. Often called the birthplace of California’s wine industry, the incredible Sonoma valley is home to some of the earliest vineyards and wineries. This small valley, with its incredible beauty and diversity, ranks as one of the finest wine producing regions in the world. It’s also a cornucopia of artisan-produced cheeses, olive oils, lavender and herbs, sheep and cattle ranching and wonderful organic farms. On the coast you’ll discover a treasure trove of bounty from the sea, including fresh oysters, Dungeness crab, and of course wild caught salmon.
Both a science and art, the heart and the hands of the Sonoma winemaker will become evident to you in every glass you enjoy during this three day winetasting extravaganza. Your first day will see you comfortably ensconced in an exceptional Tuscan hideaway, as we begin our journey through the Sonoma wine country.
