Amista Vineyards

I absolutely love wine (obviously), but if there’s one thing I can’t get enough of it’s a wine and caviar pairing. Amista Vineyards have created an absolutely fabulous wine and caviar tasting experience. For just $30 you can taste their delicious wine, a jar of sustainably farmed whitefish roe, crispy olive oil kettle chips and crème fresh. This experience pairs perfectly with their Sparkling wine!

Bricoleuer Vineyards

As a lover of all things food & wine, I am always thrilled to experience a winery’s thoughtfully curated food & wine pairing.  One winery that stands out, in particular, is the fabulous Bricoleur Vineyards. This Sonoma County vineyard shows guests a fabulous day of tasting. See what makes them so special below! 7394 Starr Rd, Windsor, CA 95492

The expansive grounds and romantic arches at Bricoleur Vineyards almost make me feel like I’m wine tasting in Europe.

Chalk Hill Estate Vineyards

One of the best food and wine tasting experiences in Sonoma County can be found at Chalk Hill Estate Vineyards. This pairing of fried chicken, caviar, and wine is nothing short of indulgent. It also landed Chalk Hill Estate Vineyards a spot on my Best Fried Chicken in Wine Country blog post here. If you find yourself wine tasting in Healdsburg, put this winery on your list! 10300 Chalk Hill Rd, Healdsburg, CA 95448

Knights Bridge Winery

Another luxury family-owned winery I’m a huge fan of is Knights Bridge Winery. Located in Knights Bridge, they are one of the only 2 wineries in the AVA with Peter Michael being the other WInery. The experience is super high and truly for the luxury wine collectors. It’s $150 per person which includes a tour, various food pairings & bites along the way, and a seated tasting with wine & food pairings hosted by their Estate Director. See how amazing this experience is below! Knights Bridge AVA, CA.

Silver Oak is a beautiful winery that offers a distinctive and delicious food and wine tasting experience. Exclusively producing Cabernet Sauvignon (with their sister brand Twomey producing Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir), the bright fruit profile of their wines make them ideal for pairing. Read more about Silver Oak’s Wine & Food Pairing Experience on the blog here.
