Seghesio Winery is located about ½ mile north of Healdsburg, just off Dry Creek Road. It is a historic winery, having been family owned and run, until its recent sale, since 1901. The winery is best known for its award-winning Zinfandels. Upon entering you will notice a lovely picnic area under the shade of old oak trees.

St. Francis Winery is located on the Highway 12 corridor in Sonoma Valley, just outside of Santa Rosa’s city limit. The winery boasts beautiful mountain and vineyard views; a patio surrounds the tasting room and while they do not allow picnicking per se, they do have charcuterie plates available for purchase that you can enjoy either on the patio overlooking the grounds, or inside by a warm cozy fireplace. Either would be a lovely way to spend an afternoon, but if you have the time, the food and wine experience is the best way to go.

Kendall-Jackson Winery is a name most people who enjoy wine would instantly recognize. They make fine accessible wines that appeal to many palates; so you might not think, if you are into fine dining and fine wines, that this pairing would wow you. Well, you might not, and if you didn’t you would be oh so wrong. They have two major bonuses: a 2 1/2 acre culinary garden that supplies the fresh seasonal produce, and a passionate Executive Chef, Justin Wangler, who works with his staff to come up with interesting and delicious ways to prepare dishes that show off the wines.
