The Urban Wine Tasting Experience- Unplugged Some people like to leave the urban jungle and venture out into the country to go wine tasting, but in this case we're recommending that you think twice. This "unplugged" experience offers 4 wineries that do not hide behind large gates or show off their impressive caves. Their focus is quality and this shows in every ounce you taste. A friendly game of bocce ball is encouraged.
Krutz Family Cellars Patrick and brother Cole will no doubt deliver true Southern hospitality, but don't let their accent fool you as their wines are among the best of the best. We recommend the weekend Food & Wine Pairing for the ultimate wine tasting experience. Recommend making reservations at 1pm
Sheldon Few wineries can claim to be a true micro-winery crafting single-vineyard designate wines of excellence. We believe that Sheldon owns this category in sweat equity alone. Their wines are sustainably farmed, hand harvested, basket pressed and hand bottled! Recommend making reservations at 2pm
D'Argenzio A unique "Tuscan" experience can only be had at D'Argenzio, where three generations of the family run the urban winery every day. What we love about it is the fact that their wines are not only very, very good, but you can almost taste a bit of St. Angelo Cancelli terroir in their Italian varietals. Recommend making reservations at 3pm
Petite Syrah Petite Syrah's monthly changing menu showcases seasonal California-French cuisine inspired by Sonoma's incredible artisan producers of fresh, organic produce.

The Downtown Sonoma Heist Conveniently located right off the Sonoma Square where few people can witness your grand scheme of buying cases of these far-under-valued wines should be considered a "heist" in our book. Spend some time without doing "hard time" by making a reservation for the Sonoma Heist .
Westwood Winery "New World Wines with Traditional Style" is Westwood's trademark of wines that satisfy desires for depth, structure, balance and finesse. Recommend making reservations at 1pm
Charles Creek Vineyard Since 2001 Charles Creek Vineyard has been producing small lots of fruit-forward, food-friendly wines. Sourcing grapes from unique vineyard sites throughout Sonoma and Napa.
Recommend making reservations at 3pm
Sonoma Square Shopping After sampling some delicious wines, why not take a stroll around Sonoma's historic square which have made several appearances in Hollywood movies. Filled with local shops, eateries and cheese shops, we recommend taking a "loop" around the square and end up at The Girl and the Fig for dinner.
The Girl and the Fig Just around the corner from Westwood, this is a "must" place to eat when visiting downtown Sonoma. During the busy times, we recommend making a reservation.
Recommend making reservations between 6 and 8pm

Mutt Lynch No doubt Mutt Lynch will overwhelm you with dog limericks as you taste their delicious portfolio of "dog-awesome" wines. We love it because it's one of the few wineries that are pet friendly.
Recommend making reservations at 2pm
Monti's Rotisserie & Bar By far one of our favorite local hotspots in Santa Rosa that we'd like to keep for ourselves, but we know secrets don't last forever. The Lavender roasted duck is highly recommended, but if you have the kids along, their pizzas are sure to please.
