We started our wine tasting weekend at the beautiful Korbel Winery, just outside of Guerneville, CA. Many people think Korbel only produces cheap champagne, but their Premier Champagne, for about $25, is really excellent. They also produce a very drinkable Chardonnay for about $15 as well.
This is a good place to start at 11:00 am. Champagne at that hour is far preferable to red wine.
The Family
Our next stop was Iron Horse Vineyards for more champagne. I had remembered it being better than what we tasted that day but the real reason I wanted to go there was for the view.
Our next stop was the Dutton Family Vineyards. There we tasted the best wines of the day. Their Chardonnay and Pinot’s were some of the best I’ve ever tasted.
After a couple of more stops we picked up some supplies from the grocery store and went back to the timeshare and bar-b-qued up some steaks and chicken and drink some of the fine wine we had purchased.
The WorldMark Wine Country Sonoma is perfectly situated in the heart of wine country. The resort is very well taken care of, the staff very helpful and friendly and the timeshare condos well appointed. I highly recommend it as an RCI exchange. Below are more pictures of the 3 bedroom unit I got with my 1 bedroom.
We had our own bar-b-que on the patio and the fireplace and entertainment center were great.
And finally pictures of the master bedroom.
In the next post I’ll share with you some pictures of one of the most beautiful drives you can do anywhere. If you ever want to exchange your timeshare to this area, you don’t want to miss this drive.
