Explore Hidden Gems of Sonoma: Historic Architecture & Exceptional Wines
Our Hidden in Plain Sight tour invites you to explore historic architecture and tucked-away tasting rooms that are as intriguing as the wines they serve. This exclusive experience takes you to 2-4 unique tasting rooms, each nestled in historic, often-overlooked locations—places where history whispers through the walls and every sip tells a story. These wines are more than just local—they are internationally sought-after, celebrated for their exceptional quality and craftsmanship, yet hidden in plain sight, waiting to be discovered by those who know where to look.
As you stroll through Sonoma’s charming downtown, you will spend time exploring not only the wine but also the architecture and history behind some of the town’s most captivating locations. Among the hidden gems you may visit are:
- An Adobe built in the 1800s by General Vallejo’s brother, a stunning piece of history that offers a glimpse into early California life.
- A prefabricated home shipped all the way from Sweden in the 1800s, once inhabited by General Hooker, a fascinating structure that tells the story of early settlers and innovation.
- A secret Ice House, recently converted by a prominent Sonoma wine family, where you’ll discover the rich history behind this once-forgotten structure and its modern-day transformation.
- A historic general store with impressive architectural details, whose current owners have preserved its charm while carefully restoring and improving it to reflect its historic significance.
Each stop offers a unique blend of history, architecture, and wine—woven together to create a truly immersive experience. Your guide will bring these stories to life, offering rich narratives that connect the buildings, the people who shaped them, and the exceptional wines that make Sonoma so special.
This bespoke experience can be fully customized to your preferences, including the time, order, and even restaurant choice, with one historic favorite being our recommended venue. Whether it’s a leisurely lunch or an elegant dinner, every moment will be curated to ensure your time in Sonoma is unforgettable.
