Join San Francisco Wine School in Occidental Nov 11th!

As summers get warmer, wineries are pushing ever westward and changes are underway. Occidental is at the center of it all – West Sonoma Coast & Green Valley of Russian River intersect here and 2 more American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) are in the works right in their backyard.

Come taste & learn about the evolution of the Sonoma Coast from the perspective of some of the regions most established wineries and newcomers to the area in this interactive winemaker session as we explore the existing and pending AVAs. We’ll taste the most well-known grapes & some rising stars.

This session is ideal for those working in the Sonoma wine trade who want to learn how to talk to guests with more regional awareness and consider new growing and production ideas for the future.

This in-person trade event at Inn at Occidental will be hosted by Master Sommelier and Founder of San Francisco Wine School, David Glancy. David is one of only 12 people in the world to hold both the revered Master Sommelier Diploma and the rigorous Certified Wine Educator credential.

Vacation in Beautiful Sonoma County, California

SONOMA WINE COUNTRY – LOVELY AND DIVERSE…

Unspoiled pastoral countryside, dinner beside the California coast, and award-winning Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley wines – all in one county!

Sonoma County is the quintessential wine country — sophistication and class without the attitude and crowds. Here, rolling hills and peaceful country roads weave through family-owned vineyards as well as nationally known wineries. At 1,604 square miles, Sonoma County is much larger than neighboring Napa and offers more diverse activities to enjoy. Relaxed and personal, Sonoma lies closer to the sea and farther from the traffic.

The first home of wine production in Northern California, Sonoma County is also still the nation’s largest producer of quality wine. Distinct wine valleys dot the countryside — Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, and the Valley of the Moon — each offering its own flavors and varietals, including many of the world’s best-known labels and appellations.

Most of Sonoma County’s 400+wineries are open to the public for tours and complimentary tastings.

Just an hour north of San Francisco, Sonoma Wine Country is an elegant, but unpretentious, vacation destination. The county’s unspoiled natural beauty — vineyards, towering old-growth redwoods, the Russian River, and the rugged California coastline — are just the beginning. A haven for artists, craftspeople, and chefs, Sonoma County offers so much more than exceptional wine. During your Sonoma Wine Country vacation, visit enjoy shopping in local art galleries, shops, and boutiques, pamper yourself with a massage or spa treatment, and experience some of the best dining in the country.
