Sonoma County, CA
One of my favorite days so far, wine tasting! The countryside was beautiful with meticulously maintained vineyards on rolling hills. We stopped at two vineyards, Kendall-Jackson and Francis Ford Coppola. We chose these because we were told they were the most family friendly, and they were very friendly. The grounds were beautiful with flowers, wild strawberries, and of course vineyards.
The first stop was Kendall-Jackson where the girls picked wild strawberries and got balloons. The second stop was the Francis Ford Coppola winery which has been open for only one year. There was movie memorabilia from Coppola's directed movies including the desk from The Godfather and the Tucker from The Tucker. We had a wonderful outdoor lunch over looking the vineyards during harvest season. The girls were juice tasting while we were wine tasting. This was a beautiful property that is very family focused. They have many family events on the weekends, have a pool, and gift shop with toys. We were pleasantly surprised by this place. Oh, and we liked the wine, too!
