Unique Experiences

Item Description

Experience four different Sonoma Valley Wineries – Idell Family Vineyards, Ledson Winery & Vineyards, Kunde Estate Winery and St. Francis Winery & Vineyards – like you’ve never experienced them before!

Join proprietors Richard and Susan Idell on a tour of the vineyards and hear what it takes to go from planting to glass in this lovely, not open to the public, vineyard setting while enjoying wine samples and local nibbles.

This private wine & cheese pairing will be conducted by one of Ledson Winery & Vineyards's knowledgeable wine consultants personally trained and mentored by Steve Ledson. It will take place in one of Ledson's six private suites or, as weather permits, outside on the veranda overlooking the vineyard or in the Oak Grove. The wines will be personally selected by a personal wine consultant based on any requests and preferences specified when the winner makes their reservations.

Take wine tasting to a whole new level with this one of a kind experience, set 1,400 feet above the valley floor, surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of Kunde's 1,850-acre estate. Rocky, mountaintop terrain has been transformed into a beautiful, shaded tasting deck that overlooks the fifth-generation sustainability farmed vineyard estate. You will begin the day's journey with a private guided tour of our half-mile of wine aging caves. You'll then embark in one of Kunde's private coaches as you are brought through the estate vineyards to the Mountain Top destination. Along the way, your personal guide will impart stories of the Kunde family, enhance your knowledge of the California wine industry, as well as stop and stand next to vines that were planted in 1882!

Relax on the scenic St. Francis terrace overlooking the vineyards and sample a flight of limited-production wines, paired with local cheeses, artisan charcuterie and seasonal accompaniments.

Additionally, you’ll receive a mixed half-case of Sonoma Valley wines to take home for your personal collection.
