Wellington Cellars

Founded by Henry and Vittorio Belmonte, Wellington Cellars is a winery where the passion for creating fine wines can be seen and tasted with each handcrafted bottle of wine.

Reviewed By Pathfinder141738 - Little Rock, United States

We prefer to visit small and/or family owned vineyards to experience wines unavailable at home. Our wine consultant, Allie, was very knowledgeable about the wines produced by this small winery. She was very friendly and attentive. She did a good job of cross-promoting the sister winery, VJB, which led us to an great unexpected stop.

Reviewed By LizBethob

Wine Country Chocolates is the best shop ever. It’s the first store I drive to when visiting Sonoma. They have the best non-dairy chocolates. If you have a lactose allergy, this is the place to go. They also have regular delicious chocolate too. Check it out, stores are located in Sonoma and Glen Elen CA.

Transcendence Theatre Company

Transcendence's "Broadway Under The Stars" is a series of award-winning concerts featuring accomplished Broadway and Hollywood performers under the stars in the majestic open-air winery ruins in Sonoma's Jack London State Historic Park. Performers from Broadway and beyond, including artists from The Book Of Mormon, Wicked, Les Miserables, 42nd Street, Hairspray, Mary Poppins, Mamma Mia and more. Each evening begins with pre-show picnicking on the great lawn, alongside the vineyards of the park (with multiple wineries pouring and food and wine available for purchase), and concludes with an evening of inspirational entertainment that Before It’s News dubbed “...goosebumps all around.” Recently named "Theater Of The Year" for the second consecutive year by Broadway World San Francisco and the #2 "Outdoor Concert Venue You Shouldn't Miss" in the United States by USA Today's 10BEST, this concert series offers sensational evenings in wine country you'll never forget.

The Holiday Spectacular 2019 was sooo good, I could have gone back and watched it all over again. The production was wonderfully orchestrated and choreographed. The performers -- every one of them -- brimmed with talent, energy, vitality and project sheer joy at what they're doing. Most fun I've had at a theater event in a long time.

We take our wine making very seriously and we enjoy the fruits of our labor with humor and irreverence. Vineyards and Winery located in the heart of Sonoma Valley, specifically in Glen Ellen. We produce only the finest wines and make sure there is laughter every day. Please call Bob for private tour/tasting at the winery.

We visited Two Amigos last week. Bob was a great host and told us all about the history of the place and the wine. The tour was excellent along with the wine. I am not a huge wine drinker but the wines they have are amazing. We joined the wine club and look forward to having some great wines arrive in the mail before Thanksgiving.

Your visit begins with a walk through our organically farmed vineyards - where all great wines begin. From there, you'll explore our Barrel room, Tank Room and Crush pad, where your Wine Specialist host will bring the journey of grape - to - glass to life. You'll then be invited to relax in our intimate Wine Room to taste the collection of Lasseter Family Wines accompanied by a plate of local, artisan cheeses. Throughout your visit, you'll see how the Lasseter's zest for living and love of storytelling is evident in every detail - From the series of original label art commissioned by local artist Dennis Ziemienski thru the balanced & harmonious wines created by Winemaker Julia Iantosca. *Note: Our last appointment of the day is offered at 4pm, and does not include a tour.

Lasseter just opened recently for wine club members. They offered a bottle service with cheese platter to enjoy on their new patio area. We enjoyed visiting with the staff and as always the wonderful wine. Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality during this crazy Covid time.
