We’ll Be There: Sonoma Wine Country Weekend Kickoff

Spend this Friday in Wine Country with us. You won’t even have to play hooky.

On Friday, September 4, we’re heading to Sonoma County for the kick-off of the annual Sonoma Wine Country Weekend. The three-day charity event runs Friday through Sunday. On Friday, join us live via Periscope and Vine for lunch with a winemaker and the evening Sonoma Starlight event, a kick-off party at the Francis Ford Coppola Winery.

Festivities continue throughout the weekend. On Saturday, the Taste of Sonoma brings together 200 wineries and 60 local chefs for an afternoon of wine tasting and food at the historic MacMurray Estate Vineyards. On Sunday, the weekend closes with its signature Sonoma Harvest Wine Auction. Throughout, winemaker lunches, dinner, and barbeques give visitors plenty of chances to get a local’s eye view of both Sonoma and winemaking.

So if you haven’t already, download the apps and follow us on Vine and Periscope @SmarterTravel.

Cheers!
