Sonoma County winemakers are looking forward to meeting you! Whether you prefer Chardonnay, Viognier, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel or Cabernet Sauvignon, these and many other varietals await you in the Dry Creek, Russian River and Alexander Valley winegrowing areas. Most of the wineries are family owned, boutique style operations where the owners are eager to tell you about the wine they make, and the process involved in creating delicious bottles of wine for you to enjoy.
The SWSE Wine Experience 101 (see the Plan Your Experience page for more info) will not only introduce you to some of the best premium wines in the area, it will also increase your understanding of wine, how it's made, and how to choose a wine you will enjoy.
Our relationships with local wine makers means you can take a walk in a vineyard, or visit a crush pad, or observe a wine bottling operation, or have a private paired tasting where each sample of wine is enjoyed with just the right food complement. These and many other unique and exclusive opportunities are available to you when you join SWSE for a wine experience.
