16th Annual Winter Wineland

This event takes place along the "Russian River Wine Road" in Sonoma. It is a great opportunity to taste limited production wines (hard to get), new releases and library wines (old ones). Some wineries will offer food pairings and others will have tours.

Ticket price will cover the tasting fee at all of the participating wineries for the weekend.Tickets: $50 Weekend, $40 Sunday Only, $20 for Designated Drivers. At the better (more expensive) wineries you can easily spend that much for a tasting of the better wines, so this is a great deal. This event does not take place at one location. Instead, you go from winery to winery, visiting the ones you are interested in exploring.

Designated Drivers will not be served any wine - however they may sample the food and will be offered other beverages to drink. At check-in they are given a different color wristband and a mug instead of a wineglass.
