This past weekend, I was whisked away on a romantic wine tasting weekend. Starting in Healdsburg, we made our way down the beautiful Sonoma Valley. There are so many beautiful venues in this part of California, and I thought it would be fun to review them over the next couple of weeks. First stop: Dry Creek Valley:
Michel-Schlumberger is nestled in the hills of Dry Creek Valley near Healdsburg. Dry Creek Valley is known for its amazing Zinfandel grapes, and the Zins at Michel-Schlumberger were some of the best. Typically this winery is tasting by appointment only, so make sure to look into that before you head out there. We did not know this when we drove into the parking lot, but thankfully another nice couple had an appointment and let us tag along. The elegant courtyard can hold up to 120 guests. Its a bit small for a wedding, but definitely a great place for a private dinner or corporate event. Just in town for a visit? On Friday evenings they have live music playing in the courtyard for $5 per person. The staff is also extremely friendly. We had their social media guru join us for a glass of wine and chatted about the vineyard. Definitely a must see on this tour!
Next up we move further down the valley to Glenn Ellen. Stay tuned!
