Experience The Petaluma Gap, San Francisco Bay Area’s closest wine country.

The Petaluma Gap was recently approved by the Federal government as the country’s newest American Viticulture Area (AVA). Through the generosity of the AVA’s winegrowers and friends, you and up to three additional guests will be able to experience the best of the Petaluma Gap while learning why the wines made from grapes grown in this area are so special.
