Sonoma California Inn Near Wineries Wineries California's Napa (Napa and Pope Valleys), Sonoma (Sonoma, Alexander & Russian River Valleys) and Lake County (directly to our north) are home to more than 600 wineries and tasting rooms. To help you navigate the choices, we will happily share our local knowledge about tours, tasting times, and shortcuts along the back roads. We welcome the opportunity to assist you in setting up a personalized tour.


When visiting our historic Napa Valley Bed and Breakfast Inn, you will be central to the top wineries in the area. To help make your stay with us even more enjoyable, we have arranged to offer complementary and discounted (e.g., “2 for 1”) wine tasting "coupons" graciously provided by several of our local and nearby wineries. Since our historic B&B offers an unprecedented breakfast experience featuring gourmet breakfast recipes, make sure to enjoy a hearty morning meal with us before you head out to indulge youselves!

Wine Tasting at the Inn

Periodically (and weekly during peak season), we invite local wineries to come to the Inn and pour some of their special/newly released wines. Judy and Chris make hors d'oeuvres for guests and other invited visitors. Doug provides a shaded patio (weather permitting) or the warm and cozy parlor (with fireplace) and dining room, and lots of interesting attendees. Please see our Specials & Packages page for more information and the latest schedule of winery visits.
