To many people, Sonoma—just 45 miles from San Francisco—means wine. But when you drink in the surroundings on the eight-acre Sonoma Plaza—the state’s largest historic plaza, lined by restaurants, shops, and hotels—it’s hard to ignore the area’s non-vine history. During a lunch break, we’ll make a stop at Downtown Sonoma Square where you will enjoy leisure time to explore. This destination affords a wonderful variety of eclectic dining options and one-of-a-kind boutique shops and local art galleries.

Stop 6
Castello di Amorosa is the realization of an all-consuming passion. Fourth generation winemaker Dario Sattui built an authentically styled 14th century Tuscan castle winery to honor his Italian heritage and deep love for medieval architecture.
But it all started with wine.
Dario is the great grandson of pioneering vintner Vittorio Sattui, an Italian immigrant who founded St. Helena Wine Cellars in 1885. The Sattui family lived at the winery, even after Prohibition closed the business in 1920. Dario was always fascinated by the stories and photos of the old winery. As a child, he would play in the winery's underground cellars and dream of reviving the family business.
Note-The entrance tickets of Castello di Amorosa is not included in this tour.

one of the best wineries in the region, especially if you love the bold reds (their Zinfandel and Cab Sauv are divine!). Absolutely beautiful location with many areas to sit and enjoy the beauty of the vineyard.
