During Harvest Season The warmth of a glass of wine is best enjoyed during the cool, crisp harvest season in Sonoma County. Here are a few harvest season experiences you can have in our wine regions. LYNMAR ESTATE Stay Overnight at Lynmar Estate Nestled in the Russian River Valley is Lynmar Estate, a preeminent producer of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines. During the harvest season, Lynmar offers tastings and other events that highlight both their wines and sustainability initiatives. But what truly makes this winery unique, is that they offer lodging. Here you can wake up with vineyard views and explore the harvest season just steps from your front door. Along with Lynmar, there are several other wineries in Sonoma County that offer lodging on-site or have hotels nearby. HANDPICK GRAPES AT MEADOWCROFT WINES Meadowcroft is highly acclaimed for its wines of intense flavor and soft tannins. Their tasting room is located at Cornerstone Sonoma, a collection of shops, galleries and restaurants. In the fall, you can come to their Cornerstone Vineyard, just down the street from the tasting room, to handpick grapes. Imagine basking in the autumn sun, smelling the sweet scents of ripening grapes…if that doesn’t sound like a wine connoisseur’s nirvana, we don’t know what does. GARDEN-TO-TABLE DINING AT boon eat + drink boon eat + drink is a modern California bistro offering a menu filled with eclectic small plates, fresh salads and seasonal dishes. They also feature locally-made products such as artisan cheeses, local meats and produce. Unlike many restaurants, boon sources much of their organic ingredients from their own farm. During the harvest season, guests can enjoy special dinners and other events in their outdoor gardens where you can savor the flavors of their bounty while also sipping on Russian River wines and micro brews.
