"A scenic winery in Sonoma offering beautiful vineyard views—recommended as a picturesque tasting stop for couples exploring the valley's more than 400 wineries." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"A family-owned, certified sustainable hilltop winery celebrated for its sparkling wines—bottles of which have been poured at the White House since 1985—alongside quality pinots and chardonnays. The elevated setting provides sweeping valley views that pair especially well with alfresco bubbly tastings." - Bailey Berg, Tim Chester, Jessie Beck

"A coastal Sonoma producer farmed sustainably by the Sterling family since 1975, whose magnums—including the Stargazing Cuvée with its James Webb Space Telescope-inspired label—deliver bright, fine bubbles and a minerally-lifted profile that pairs gorgeously with oysters." - Becky Duffett

"Named after a railroad stop that crossed the property in the 1890s, Iron Horse is renowned for their sparkling wines which have been served at the White House since the Reagan administration. Outdoor tastings afford stunning views of the gentle rolling hills of Green Valley and Mount St. Helena in the distance. In this pandemic moment, reservations required."

"To shop local this year, I’d consider Iron Horse in the Russian River, which is offering a special sparkling rosé that benefits the Sonoma County Resilience Fund." - Becky Duffett
