29. Sonoma Friends of the Foundation

matheson

Proprietors Sam Lando, Mike Thompson, and Brian & Sheree Thornsberry have joined together to offer a one-of-a-kind trip for three couples to Sonoma wine country. Located 67 miles north of San Francisco, Hotel Healdsburg encompasses the simplicity and charm of Sonoma. Set on the western edge of Healdsburg’s historic town plaza, guests can enjoy some of the world’s finest vineyards, restaurants, and shops within minutes of the front steps. The beautifully appointed guest rooms, country gardens, pool, and luxurious spa will provide the perfect retreat for you to return each evening. 

Thompson 31Fifty proprietor Mike Thompson is not just the man behind the winery, but also one of the founders of Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation. His dedication to helping children in need in Northwest Florida laid the groundwork for two decades of DCWAF success. His small batch, handcrafted wines are bold, yet elegant; the perfect expression of the region. 

After 10 vintages, LANDO wines has become a sought after, boutique producer of highly allocated Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. They focus on producing wines with fresh fruit, intensity, and elegance - wines they enjoy drinking and sharing with friends.  

Crafting small production wines made from some of the highest quality Sonoma County growers available is the hallmark of Innumero. Every bottle speaks uniquely to its sense of place, vintage and winemaking style. Spend your first night in Sonoma at the home of Innumero proprietors Brian and Sheree Thornsberry as they treat you to a special multi-course wine dinner prepared by wine country chefs and owners of Pour Le Gout Farms.

Spend the next day amongst the vines with private tours and tastings at LANDO Wines, Innumero, and Thompson 31Fifty before joining the Landos for a dining experience you won’t soon forget. Paired with wines hand-selected by your hosts from their personal cellars, allow yourself to be wined and dined at the ever-indulgent The Matheson Restaurant with the help of chef and owner Dustin Valette.
