Imagery Winery prides itself on quality and taste. So much so that it has informed one of the most important pairings yet, wine and art.

Imagery Estate Winery (Sonoma)
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 first-hand how Imagery creates their award-winning wines. Enjoy Imagery’s creativity, individuality and imagination while you browse through the gallery that boasts the largest collection of wine label art in the world, commissioned for Imagery Estate wine labels.

Chateau St. Jean (Sonoma)
Enjoy a tasting for two.  Experience the Sonoma wine lifestyle. Delight in a flight of wines as you relax in our 1920s chateau and take in the breathtaking view of our Grand Lawn and Estate Vineyards. Hosted on the Chateau Patio, weather permitting, or in the Chateau Dining Room. This tasting is accompanied with an artisan cheese plate.

Benziger Family Winery (Sonoma)
Enjoy a tour and tasting for two. Benziger Family Winery 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 our vineyards and Wine Cave, where guests learn about our biodynamic growing procedures, the history of the winery, the family and the property.

The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa
Enjoy a 3-night stay in a standard Fairmont room (one king or one 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. Michelin-rated and AAA Four Diamond Award recipient, Sante is the only restaurant in the Sonoma Valley to receive these accolades.
