The last time Robert and I went up to see the venue, we decided to check out some wineries and other attractions near by and let you know how they were!
We didn't spend a lot of time in the town of Geyserville, but we did have lunch at Diavola Pizzeria. It was delicious! They have a lot more than just pizza, and they also have this dipping sauce that is very tasty. Definitely a place for you to try when you are in town!
We tried out four new wineries, but only three are worth mentioning (partly because I forgot the name of one of them, and partly because it didn't stand out to us).
The first we tried was Hawkes Winery. Its a very small production, but has some great wines. The manager of the tasting room turns out to be the daughter of the family that is renting their house to us for the wedding. We bought a couple bottles of whites for the wedding, so be looking for it!
The second, White Oaks, was a recommendation from Hawkes. Its a little more upscale than Hawkes, but it has beautiful grounds and some good wines. I think there will be a few bottles of white from this winery as well!
The third is Passalaqua winery. Another small winery, but had some interesting wines, and pretty grounds. You can even do tasting on the patio and enjoy the scenery.
A few of the others that we have tried in the past are Simi Winery, which is on the way to the venue and has nice picnic grounds and their Cuve is delicious. Going on the other side of 128, there is Amista winery, which isn't great, but is dog friendly! One of our favorites is Lambert Ridge. The road to Lambert Ridge is windy and you lose all cell reception, but it is beautiful and the wine is amazing! They also have two large fuzzy dogs that welcome you by lifting their heads off their bed! Its a definite must when you are in town!
I hope this gives you something to do while you are visiting the beautiful Sonoma Wine Country! 27 days left!
