Celebrate Wine Road’s 40^th Anniversary; you’ll receive:

Two tickets to the following Wine Road events: The Wine & Food Affair, Winter WINEland, Barrel Tasting.

The Wine & Food Affair “Tasting Along the Wine Road” is their premier event. Enjoy a weekend of wine and food pairing in the Alexander, Dry Creek and Russian River Valleys. All of the participating wineries will have a favorite recipe available online, which they will prepare both days for you to sample, along with the perfect wine. To be held November 5^th and 6^th, 2016.

The 25^th Winter WINEland will be held January 14^th and 15^th, 2017. This is a great opportunity to meet winemakers, taste limited production wines, new releases or library wines. Some wineries will offer food pairings and others will have tours.

The 40^th annual Barrel Tasting is scheduled for March 3^rd through 5^th. The Barrel Tasting is all about the WINE…many wineries offer “futures” on their barrel samples. This is your chance to sample wines from the barrel, talk to winemakers and explore the beautiful Alexander, Dry Creek and Russian River Valleys. This is an opportunity to purchase wine now, often at a discount, then come back to the winery when the wine is bottled, typically 12-18 months later. Many wines are so limited, buying futures is your only chance to purchase them.

And, get to know the Wine Road even more thoroughly with a one night, mid-week, stay at The Courtyard by Marriott in Santa Rosa-Sonoma Wine County. After a day of adventures, burn off some steam in the fitness center or relax in the outdoor pool and whirlpool. Valid until May 14, 2017, Sunday through Thursday.

Visit Merriam Vineyards in Healdsburg and enjoy a Private Tour and Sit-Down Wine Tasting for up to eight people. Nestled in the warmest edge of the Russian River Valley, Merriam Vineyards invites you to cross cultures while tasting their California-crafted French-style wines in their beautifully appointed tasting room.

And, you will also visit Battaglini Estate Winery in Santa Rosa and taste award-winning wines from 135 year old vines with light appetizers. You’ll have a personal tour of the vineyards from the winemaker/proprietor. Valid for up to 10 people; certificate must be used by November 1, 2016.

You’ll also receive one 750ml bottle each of Papapietro-Perry 2012 Pinot Noir and Mounts Family Winery 2013 Vera Blanc, along with two Riedel red wine glasses.
