Take your friends and colleagues on a private jet to the Charles M. Schulz- County Airport in Sonoma – about 15 miles from Napa and in the heart of Northern California’s renowned wine Country. Here you will find more reasonably priced wines. If you drink mainly Zinfandels, Pinot Noirs, Sparkling Wines, Red Blends, and Unoaked zesty Chardonnays, go to Sonoma.

There are 425 wineries in Sonoma County. For a three day wine tasting itinerary consider:

Day One of wine tasting: experience the vineyards and rolling hills bordering Highway 101 to Geyserville and the northern end of Healdsburg to visit Silver Oaks Cellars. Visit the Robert Young Scion House on a 448 acre ranch and the Jordon Vineyard & Winery. As the sun sets, make your way to the Geyserville Inn.

Day Two of wine tasting: explore the Healdsburg wineries beginning at the Trattore Farms Winery with commanding views of Geyser Peak and Mount St. Helena. Then onto the A. Rafanelli Winery (tastings by appointment only). Conclude with Comstock Wines and hospitality at Single Thread and one of the country’s most accomplished chefs, Kyle Connaughton, and 55 seat Michelin starred restaurant in Healdsburg.

Day Three of Wine Tasting: drive through the Russian River Valley. Breakfast at Healdsburg’s Costeaux French Bakery. Onto Bacigalupi Vineyards. Onto Flowers Vineyards and Winery and their Sonoma Coast Wines. Top it all off with a wine and food pairing at the J. Bubble Room at the J.
