Taste of Wine Country - Wine & Cheese, Olive Oil & Chocolate Tasting

California’s Wine Country is so much more than wine! Escape with us on a journey to the Napa and Sonoma Valleys as we visit a variety of culinary favorites.

Your tour experience will start with a trip across the Golden Gate Bridge as we depart San Francisco and into Wine Country! Sit back and relax as we drive through the vine-covered hill-sides of the Sonoma Valley on our way to our first stop at one of Wine Country’s prized winery estates.

Your outing will start with a walk-through tour of one of Sonoma Valley’s few spectacular working wine caves! Next, make yourself comfortable as your expert wine host guides you through a seated wine and cheese tasting.
A lunch break will be in the historic Downtown Sonoma Square. Enjoy an eclectic variety of local dining and shopping options during your leisure lunch break and even explore the historic Mission San Francisco Solano and former military barracks for a little taste of “Old California”.

The next stop on your culinary journey through Wine Country, we make our way to visit with one of Sonoma Valley’s first-families of the Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar industry. Tour an active olive oil mill, and listen in as you learn about the history and production of the olive oil and aged balsamic vinegars. Your visit will be completed with a private tasting with the oil maker!

We finish off our voyage through Wine Country with a visit to a local favorite for chocolate! Listen in as your expert chocolate host walks you through a tasting of wine-infused truffles, beer and wine-flavored brittles, caramels, and other chocolate favorites as you experience traditional chocolate-making methods and its relationship with Wine Country.
