Imagery Estate Winery (Sonoma)
Dedicated to crafting small quantities of rare wines from uncommon varieties and character rich vineyards, Imagery Estate Winery was born of a thirst for experimentation and willingness to take risks. Enjoy the craft of wine blending with an intimate hands-on seminar. Whether you?re deconstructing a Tuscan field blend or a classic Bordeaux, your wine educator will teach and taste you through what each wine component brings to the final creation as you see first-hand how Imagery creates their award-winning wines. Enjoy Imagery?s creativity, individuality and imagination while you browse through the gallery that boasts the largest collection of wine label art in the world, commissioned for Imagery Estate wine labels.

The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa
Enjoy a 3-night stay in a standard Fairmont room (one king or one queen bed) including daily breakfast for two in the dining room at this resort blessed by natural mineral hot springs and set in the heart of the California Wine Country. The spa's inspiring architecture reveals pools, baths, and treatment areas unique in the West. It is a true spa, created in the grand European tradition and based on the benefits of the property's thermal mineral springs. Santé Restaurant is the Inn's premier dining room and has earned a national reputation for its outstanding food. Recipient of the prestigious AAA 4-Diamond award, Santé is the only restaurant in the Sonoma Valley to receive this accolade. Condé Nast Traveler said "it's worth a special trip just to eat here" and Gourmet Magazine calls the food "the best of the new Wine Country style." It was recently one of the few hotel restaurants in the United States to be awarded a Michelin star rating.
