Kenwood

This hundred-year-old chateau is one of the nicest places to spend an afternoon in Kenwood. Their wines are French-inspired—lots of bordeaux and burgundy here—and their reserve collection is a big draw. As are their gardens and grounds: Spend an afternoon playing bocce, having picnic lunch in the redwoods, or chilling out on the patio. They welcome walk-ins, too.

Landmark specializes in wines that are hand-crafted and small production, as well as offering its clients a truly fun experience with wine.

Sonoma takes a lot of its cues from Tuscany, and this boutique spot, which occupies what could only be described as an Italian farmhouse, is an excellent embodiment of that aesthetic.
