WINE COUNTRY TRENDS journals many aspects of the wine country lifestyle we love, from new and exciting wine and food trends as well as savoring classics.

Above: some of our favorite Sonoma Wine and Food Artisans. For first time visitors to California, we recommend a wine tour of the Napa and Sonoma Valleys as an introduction to the wine country, then return for further explorations to more of the American Viticultural Areas (AVAs.) From San Francisco you get a great package with the WINE COUNTRY TOUR SHUTTLE which includes a ferry ride across the San Francisco bay, a picnic lunch, and visits to Domain Chandon (sparkling wine), V. Sattui, Andretti and the Black Stallion Winery, then return to the Ferry Building in SF - a great deal for $98.00
