The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa
Enjoy a 3-night stay in a standard Fairmont room (1 king or 1 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.

Benziger Family Winery (Sonoma)
Enjoy a private tour and tasting for two. To craft wines of uncommon character with a distinct sense of place commands the enthusiasm of an entire team devoted to a singular passion. At Benziger that team is a family, and their passion is Sonoma Mountain winegrowing. Learn about Benziger’s biodynamic growing practices during this behind-the-scenes vineyard tour, visit the gardens and wine caves, and taste award winning wines in a private setting while enjoying a wine-paired cheese platter.

Imagery Estate Winery (Sonoma)
Enjoy a private tasting for two of Imagery’s special varietals. Imagery, also part of the Benziger family, is the “hidden gem” in Wine Country – a winery that produces just 9000 cases of unique, award-winning varietals that are not distributed outside of the winery. Imagery also houses the world’s largest collection of contemporary, original artwork commissioned for wine labels. Learn about the connection of art and wine, then stroll through the art gallery. Leisurely enjoy a picnic basket of locally sourced ingredients as you have lunch on Imagery’s beautiful picnic grounds.

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. After a few years of helping his family make large production wines for their Benziger brand, Joe Benziger decided that there were some vineyard lots that were just too good to get lost in a big blend. He set out to showcase these special vineyard sites in a series of small artisan wines. It’s no wonder that Imagery was voted "2012 Best Sonoma Winery" by Bay Area locals.
