Take Advantage of Special Offerings at Sonoma County Wineries Throughout the Entire Month of October
SANTA ROSA, CA (September 28, 2018) – Sonoma County Wine Month kicks off on October 1 in celebration of Sonoma County’s world-class wines that span the region’s 18 diverse appellations. Into its fourth year, participating wineries will offer special promotions throughout the entire month of October such as two-for-one tastings, opportunities to taste rare wines and special experiences that are typically reserved for members only. Additional wineries will be showcasing events to commemorate Sonoma County Wine Month.
“October is an exciting time to visit Sonoma County. Harvest is in full swing, and there are plenty of activities happening at wineries for guests to enjoy,” said Michael Haney, executive director of Sonoma County Vintners.
Home to over 425 wineries, Sonoma County’s diverse climate allows for 60 varieties of grapes to successfully grow in 18 American Viticultural Areas (AVA)—from the sweeping oceanside landscape of Sonoma Coast to the cooler, fog covered valley floors of Carneros. Master Sommelier, Keith Goldston noted this diversity, explaining “Sonoma County is an incredible spot to make many different styles of wines—it’s almost like a whole country in one county.”
