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 legendary spa has been completely renovated with inspired architecture and plantings that appeals to the sophisticated traveler. 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. Cond 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.

Chateau St. Jean (Sonoma)
Enjoy a private VIP tour and tasting for two. A visit to Chateau St. Jean lifts all your senses. You can begin by exploring the magnificent gardens that will make any visitor feel transported. As you wind your way through the gardens your path will lead you to the main visitor's center. Once inside, a host will greet you and take you across the courtyard to a private tasting room in the Chateau. In this majestic setting, you will be led through a professional tasting of their very best wines presented in fine Riedel glassware. The rich history of winemaking tradition at Chateau St. Jean will be shared as well as savory bites to complement their fine Sonoma County wines.

Ravenswood Private Blending Seminar for 2 (Sonoma)
The classic California "field blend" consists of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Carignane combined in percentages determined by the winemaker for that vintage. What if it were up to you? You can try your hand at blending these three wines in the proportion your palate prefers - then take home a 375-ml bottle of the results to amaze (and hopefully impress) your friends. Stroll through their estate vineyard to examine the vines up close, then return to the cellar to sample wines straight from the barrel and taste current releases. At Ravenswood, there's no pinkie raising, brie eating, wine spitting wimpiness.

Insurance, taxes and fees, gasoline etc. are the responsibility of the purchaser and can be paid with the gift certificates provided, but all charges in excess of the gift certificates are the responsibility of the purchaser.
