WineStopper: Visit, Stay, Sip

Rebecca Germolus on Aug 15, 2024

Did you know the Wine Road has an informative weekly web post called WineStopper? It’s on the Wine Road’s website home page, under “This Week’s Visit, Stay, Sip.”

 

What’s This All About?

With so many wineries, lodgings and wines along the Wine Road, the WineStopper program highlights a different winery, lodging and wine every week. It’s a great way to learn a little bit more about what’s happening along the Wine Road.

 

Visit

With so many wineries in Sonoma County, how do you know which ones you’d like to visit? The Wine Road is here to help you pare down your preferred list by sharing plenty of information with you on their website. The WineStopper rotating weekly focus on one winery is just one way the Wine Road helps you get acquainted with a new winery option every week.

 

Recently, Spicy Vines in Healdsburg was the featured winery:

Descriptions like, “small, independent, female founded and family-owned winery” allow you to find out more about the people behind the brand before you walk in the tasting room door.

 

Stay

Finding the perfect lodging can be daunting. This week’s Visit, Stay, Sip option was the Vintners Resort:

“Experience Sonoma’s first luxury resort on a working vineyard. Embraced by a 92-acre estate, Vintners Resort is an intimate hideaway set amidst redwood trees, colorful gardens, and fountain courtyards…” This is just the kind of description to entice you to select this as your home away from home during your next trip along the Wine Road.

WineStopper: Sip

Now on to the wine. With so many wineries and wine produced along the Wine Road, it’s really tough to keep up with who has what available at any given time. Although WineStopper only highlights one wine per week, you can find out about dozens of wines each year!

This week’s Sip stop was at DaVero Farms & Winery where WineStopper highlighted DaVero’s estate-grown Pallagrello Bianco. As you can see in the description, this is the first Pallagrello Bianco grown in the United States. Now that’s a wine worth seeking out!
