"$55-75 per person The outdoor tasting area at this Healdsburg vineyard is one of the region’s most beautiful - it’s filled with tons of greenery, lush flower beds, and cabanas with cushioned benches for you to sit at. And as an added bonus: the tasting includes little bites, like Dungeness crab croquettes or mushroom and leek gratin, to pair with your wine." - julia chen 1

"Flowers Winery & Vineyard offers a variety of wines." - J'nai Gaither
"Not your average picnic, Flowers Winery’s Bottles & Provisions experience ($75 per person, available Friday to Sunday) takes place in a private garden cabana, where you can relax, sip, and snack at your own pace. A basket of provisions is packed with a half bottle of wine per guest and a beautiful spread of food pairings to share from the in-house culinary team. Alternatively, the Flowers Flight ($55, available Thursday to Monday) takes a more traditional wine-and-food format, consisting of a flight of Flowers’ Sonoma Coast pinot noir and Chardonnay and a seasonal bite, like Moroccan spiced carrot soup or balsamic poached strawberries in a puff pastry, for each." - Jess Lander
