Item Description
This experience for 2 includes an intimate blending seminar at Imagery Estate Winery, tasting at Chateau St. Jean, tour and tasting at Benziger Family Winery, and a 3-night stay in a standard Fairmont room at The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa, with daily breakfast.
The Imagery Estate Winery is 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. Enjoy the craft of wine blending with an intimate hands-on seminar. Whether you’re deconstructing a Tuscan field blend or a classic Bordeaux, your wine educator will teach and taste you through what each wine component brings to the final creation, as you see firsthand how Imagery creates their award-winning wines.
Next, experience the Sonoma wine lifestyle at the Chateau St. Jean. Delight in a flight of wines as you relax in the 1920s Chateau and take in the breathtaking view of the Grand Lawn and Estate Vineyards. This tasting is accompanied with an artisan cheese plate.
Lastly, enjoy a tour and tasting at the Benziger Family Winery which is dedicated to crafting wines of uncommon character that reveal the unique characteristics of the individual vineyards and offers the best expression of Sonoma County winegrowing. A visit to Benziger Family Winery includes a tour of the vineyards and Wine Cave, where guests learn about biodynamic growing procedures, the history of the winery, the family and the property.
Finally, relax at The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa. Enjoy a 3-night stay in a standard Fairmont room, 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."
