The 10 Best Things to do Good for Big Groups in Sonoma, California (CA)

September 10, 2021 Nicolette Lion

In Sonoma, you can go wine-tasting… or cheese-tasting… or olive oil-tasting… or just let the chefs of the area’s renowned restaurants put everything together for you. Then burn off some of that good food and wine by hiking or biking through redwood forests.

We went to Sonoma Valley. This is a wonderful area to explore. There are lots of cute communities such as Petaluma, Santa Rosa, Windsor, Sonoma, Healdsburg. There are lots of great parks including Armstrong Redwoods State Park, We went again in July and enjoyed a Fourth of July lunch, wine tasting, exploring the country side, and then later visited with friends.

Hamel Family Wines

Thank you for considering Hamel Family Wines during your upcoming Sonoma visit. Each Experience is privately led by a Wine Ambassador, includes a tour, and wine tasting, and can include food pairings. In addition, a “dry” tasting is offered for non-wine drinkers who are enjoying the Experience with others. All tours are appointment only, and are available Thursday through Monday. At Hamel Family Wines, we strive to make great wine and to have fun doing so. We value quality over quantity, enjoyment over tedium and fostering long-term recurring relationships with our guests. We work hard to produce the highest quality wines in limited quantities from grapes grown on our Sonoma Valley and Moon Mountain District estate vineyards. We farm our vineyards with organic and biodynamic practices, always mindful of our role as responsible stewards of the land. We remain grateful for our guests, respectful of our neighbors and appreciative of the fine work that our team performs daily.

I booked the Reserve Experience for my family of four at Hamel Family Wines through their Facebook Messenger. The contact person Rachelle was very prompt with replies. The Reserve Experience combines wine tasting with four dishes of food pairings in the private dining room in their wine cave. The Hamel estate is so beautifully designed and immaculate. We were shown the facilities before settling in for the food and wines. Our guide Zakk told us a lot of information about the architecture (the main building and wine cave are just stunning), wine making process, and anecdotes, in such a funny and cheerful way, which made the experience even more memorable. The food was another highlight. All four dishes were absolutely delicious, more so than some other long established and well known restaurants in the area that we tried. The chef even made his own salt from local sea water. Some herbs were from the small garden in the property. The wines were impressive, so fragrant, too. I'm not much of a wine drinking person, so cannot describe the wine well. However, I absolutely love the whole experience. Special thanks goes to Zakk, the chef, and their team. Highly recommended.
