Visiting Sonoma County wineries is an unforgettable experience no matter which region you choose to explore. And although part of the adventure is being able to enjoy each winery’s tasting room, it’s also enjoyable to attend an event that brings multiple wineries together all in one place at the same time.
The Beautiful West Sonoma Coastline
The West of the West Wine Festival from August 2 – 4, 2013 brings over 40 wine producers and growers together for guests to sample outstanding West Sonoma Coast wines, plus more. Friday begins with a choice of five Welcome Dinner options including an Al Fresco dinner in a Failla Wines vineyard prepared by Chef Gary Penir, and, an intimate dinner at the home of Freeman Winery proprietors prepared by Chef Christopher Greenwald.
