"Leaders in organic and biodynamic farming, Hamel Family Wines has one of the most architecturally stunning tasting rooms around. The Reserve Experience ($150, available daily at 10 a.m., 1 and 3 p.m.), starts with a tour — a glass of wine in hand, of course — of Hamel’s state-of-the-art winery and cave, includes a barrel sample and then concludes with a sit-down, four-course food-and-wine pairing in a private indoor/outdoor room. Hamel is one of the few Sonoma wineries making seriously killer cabernet, which is bound to be a magical match with dishes like short rib ravioli and stuffed morel mushrooms with warm spice duck sausage." - Jess Lander
