Take part first-hand in the magical transformation of grapes into wine

Marked by excellence and labeled as extraordinary – an annual transformational event takes place at Hope-Merrill House Inn, located in Geyserville … in the heart of Sonoma’s picturesque wine country: A wine lover's experience. Some of valley’s finest grapes are pressed into wine by "students of the vine," say innkeepers Ron and Cosette Scheiber. "The dual summer and spring events are a blend of picking, pressing, dining, plus plenty of learning and laughter." And the setting – the elegant, historic, museum-quality-antique-appointed Hope-Merrill Inn, makes this wine making experience irresistible to those with a love of the finest life has to offer. COST: Only $1500 per couple, plus tax and gratuity.  All meals, lodging, and wine included in one price!
