Spend the day savoring the best of Sonoma County on a Russian River wine and dining escape. Travel from San Francisco through stunning wine country landscapes to Hook & Ladder Winery, a boutique spot known for small-batch Pinot Noir, old vine Zinfandel, and Chardonnay. Enjoy a relaxed tasting surrounded by vineyards before heading to the celebrated Kendall-Jackson Wine Estate & Gardens.

Here, a gourmet five-course lunch with perfectly paired wines awaits, crafted with ingredients harvested from the estate’s own culinary garden. Take a stroll among the herbs and vegetables that inspired your meal, linger over dessert, and soak up the tranquil beauty of Sonoma wine country. By the time you return to the city, you’ll have experienced a delicious snapshot of Russian River’s finest flavors.
