I had the privilege of planning my wedding here and my experience working with the owners was incredible. The Bhachus are gracious hosts in sharing this magical space because every time I've visited, there is always something new and different to admire. I respect how much love and care they've invested into property, with such impeccable taste. Being able to run ideas and have open conversations with Barbara helped make this journey of being a bride so empowering. I never thought of myself as a "creator" but that truly changed the moment I was able to cultivate a wonderful day in sharing this very intimate aspect of my life with loved ones. I would love to return for a wine tasting experience as it would be a great way to continue celebrating many more milestones~

They have semi-rustic event space, some goats, corn husk spots, tables with covering and a beautiful covered barn area. Also a separate area to showcase and serve their different offerings. Wines (red & white)...I had the cab and thought it was a decent full flavor. They also have honey, fresh eggs, a few veggies & olive oil. I think the sun had me off my game because I left without trying the olive oil (usually my favorite)! Did purchase the honey and it's a nice smooth flavor. Last but not last was the WONDERFUL house manager. I didn't get her name, she was running around helping everyone, she is a warm,nurturing professional that felt like a breath of fresh air. She was juggling task for sure, but the patrons loved her it had a family atmosphere. I can't wait to meander in the hills again and visit this farm another day in the future. Great idea.. solid event space. Thank you, Sharine

They are prepared w/ a Luxury black shuttle van. Paul (our driver) was so informative and so knowledgeable about the Sonoma and Napa History. I appreciate how they already had an itinerary planned out for the day. We visited 4 wineries which one had a wonderful farm to table lunch waiting for us (which this was included in ticket price) Each winery visited made us feel at home/great stories/great people and great wine waiting for us upon arrival! Wine tasting fees are addl around $35-40 per person. Our last winery visited Paul helped us to get TSA approved shipping boxes which wine got home safely! Wish we could've stayed longer at Buena Vista and Sangiacomo. Would highly recommend wine trolley/bus tour and felt ticket price was reasonable for having great service/knowledgeable driver/lunch for an all day tour.

I use as a finishing oil drizzled on roast vegetables or for pasta dishes. Frantoio olive oil also has known health benefits! A great antioxidant, reduce inflammation, help with lowering cholesterol and for heart health due to high polyphenols. I'm all for it...a daily tablespoon or two will do ya! If you're a bit more adventurous you can go with the other high polyphenol EVOO of Spanish olives called Hojiblanca. Plenty of options of vinegars and olive oils to sample before you buy. Bought the 18yr old aged balsamic which elevates any dressing and your friend's will comment "how come mine doesn't taste like yours" (evil laugh!) ...quality ingredients make a difference! Staff helpful and will provide ideas for pairings with food and educate on the wonderful selection of products. Store shelves were not fully stocked (when I visited in Jan) but you can ask and a bottle will be filled in the back. Plenty of street parking and towards the end of First Street.

We learned to cook with the Thermomix while working in teams at different stations, preparing dishes from around the world. It was hands-on, interactive, and a lot of fun - every dish turned out delicious. Miggi is a fantastic teacher: clear, detailed, confident, and incredibly knowledgeable. She explains techniques in a way that's easy to understand, and we all walked away genuinely better cooks. We also paired the experience with wine tasting and learned how to taste and appreciate wine properly, which made the evening even more memorable. On top of that, Miggi's fun, warm personality really brings the whole experience together. My office team loved it and is still talking about it. Highly recommend for team events or anyone looking for a unique, engaging culinary experience.

REVIEW #1 BEST WINE…read moreEVENT I HAVE EVER PARTICIPATED IN!! WOWZERS! I am still thinking about my fun wine tasting day this weekend! I am SO happy I didn't miss this event, I would have been so disappointed in myself...and if you missed it, you should be really ashamed as well! This was such a well-organized event with tons of businesses that participated to make this a great turn out. It was 85 degrees weather and perfect day to wine taste. I first heard about this event on Eventbrite and there were tons of other wine events that were going on that day as well but I decided to try this event out. It was located in Benicia which was about a 1 hour from where I live. I was able to find the location and parking was a breeze. I noticed there was parking on the street as well as parking near the beach area. I didn't have any expectations for this event as I never been before so when I walked in I was greeted by a nice gentleman who explained the agenda for the day. The event was from 1PM-5PM, there were a total of 22 wineries but you get 15 free tastings: You are handed a half sheet of all the businesses that are participating in the event as well as the different wines that each business is offering. You go to each business, shop, look around and taste wine at each vendor store. MY PERFECT TYPE OF EVENT! I can shop and sip wine...OH plus talk to people who love doing what I love doing!! OMG, this was totally my type of day! You get 15 tastings and to be honest with you....I tapped out after 8 tastings! OMG, I can't believe I just wrote that...Yes...yes...people I couldn't drink anymore after the 8th tasting. I arrived at 1PM and by 3PM I was on my 8th tasting and I sat with one of the business for over 1 hour and they totally took care of me that I could have bypassed all the rest of the wines and been okay. My of the business even had snacks, treats and lovely music for you to take advantage of while you were there. I was able to witness stores that I never knew even existed! I found an amazing clothing stores, jewelry, my first experience doing a psychic reading! The list goes on and on... By 3:30PM I was walking back feeling myself. This event totally leaves you satisfied. Plus everyone was on their best behavior. No violence or rowdy people. By the time you walk most of the event you seem to meet friends along the way because we were all checking out the same wine stops. This totally changed my mindset about the little city of Benicia! This community is small but peaceful and beautiful! Fun cute shops and lots of history! I can't wait for next year's event! I hear they always do events such as this one. They preciously did a Beer Festival event which was a great turn out as well. I wish they had something like this in my little city! DON'T MISS THIS EVENT NEXT YEAR! REVIEWER 56/196

We sat out on the patio overlooking the gardens. There is a forest like feel with all the tall trees surrounding. It was foggy on the day of our visit so we were unable to see the ocean or Farallon Island. The wine host was very knowledgeable about the wines and the area. They had a really great pricing deal when multiples of certain wines were purchased, I ended up leaving with 6 bottles. They do offer food pairings which looked amazing, but we didn't book that experience. This is a nice spot to visit if you're in the area. The winery is kid and dog friendly.
