Answer four questions

Good to know

What are the best best wineries for groups in Sonoma?

Start with Korbel Champagne Cellars, Bricoleur Vineyards and Gundlach Bundschu Winery.

How many wineries can you visit in a day in Sonoma?

Three or four is the sweet spot: about an hour each, plus a proper lunch. Five is possible if the cellars are small and close together.

How do you get around Sonoma wine country without driving?

Private driver for the day (about US$95–150 per hour, 4-hour minimum); Small-group wine tour (about US$150–200 per person, full day); Walk the Healdsburg plaza (free). Every Grapevine itinerary lists these local options; book them directly.

When is the best time to visit?

Open year-round. Harvest runs mid-August to October; winter is quiet, rainy and the easiest time to get seated tastings.
