Wine Tour

Wine is a fragment of the universe caught in a glass. Look deep into the depths of a Cabernet Sauvignon, follow the spiraling bubbles in a flute of champagne and anticipate the sip that will awaken and liberate your senses. Like art, wine creates moments in which memory, desire and the present combine. A fluid counterpart to poetry and literature, wine is a magic door to a world where harmony and laughter reign.

There’s the sense of community engendered by the simple opening of a bottle of wine. The sound of a cork popping (one of the reasons I’m sure people are so loath to give up the cork for the more effective screw-top) is associated with parties, with celebration, with joy. Sharing a bottle of wine is a communal experience that brings people together and is a way of ‘breaking the ice’ when you first meet someone. Wine-tasting is a fabulous way to experience the beauty of the Napa and Sonoma countryside as well as the delight of discovering relatively unknown and delicious wines.

With my Wine-tasting in Carneros CD, you can take a driving tour of wineries in the Carneros Region of Sonoma and Napa Valleys in your own car and at your own pace. This CD allows you to learn about each winery and listen to the owners talk about why they make wine, what they love about living in Carneros and how their families became involved in wine-making. If you’re planning a trip to Sonoma and Napa this is a great way to begin.

If you live in the Sonoma/Napa area, Wine-tasting in Carneros not only makes a great gift, but it’s a wonderful way to entertain out-of-town guests. For example, do you have friends and family coming to visit? Do you want a fun way to entertain them without stress? Or do you need some free time without feeling guilty? This CD driving tour will give your friends and family a day or more of wine-tasting in wonderful, small, family-owned wineries in Carneros where they will feel welcome and comfortable whether they're familiar with wine and wine-tasting or not.

A map and tracks for each winery make it easy for anyone to pick and choose the wineries they want to visit. In addition, $40.00 worth of tasting coupons for wineries are included with the CD.

This is a great way to entertain guests or, if you're new to the area, an easy and entertaining way to begin your acquaintance with the myriad wonderful wineries in Sonoma and Napa Valleys.
