The Donum Estate

19 Laid-Back Wineries with Real Food in Sonoma County

"This special slice of Sonoma features an open-air art gallery with more than 40 large-scale sculptures, like a towering, mirrored heart on a hill. Donum’s wine and food experiences include a tour of the art collection, vineyards, farm, and lavender fields, though the Explore Experience ($150, available daily) does so via an all-terrain vehicle and commences in the tasting salon for a flight of Donum’s reserve, single-block, and library pinot noirs. The Discover Experience ($95, available daily) on the other hand, consists of a walking tour and an outdoor comparative tasting of three Sonoma appellations. Each wine is paired with a bite and the culinary team incorporates as much of the land as possible into the menu, including estate olive oil, flowers from the garden, and even cover crop from the biodynamic vineyards." - Jess Lander
