WINERIES

With 425 wineries in Sonoma County, and another 400 in Napa County, you can spend a lifetime trying to visit them all. I’m highlighting a few that are nearby and a couple of my favorites that are an hour or so away. Depending on the day of the week and season, wineries can get very busy. I highly recommend making reservations to your priority wineries as soon as possible.
