Proprietors Sam Lando and Kirk Venge have joined together to offer a one-of-a-kind trip for four couples to Sonoma wine country. Located 67 miles north of San Francisco, Hotel Healdsburg encompasses the Sonoma wine country's simplicity and charm. Set on the western edge of Healdsburg's historic town plaza, guests can enjoy some of the world's finest vineyards, restaurants, and shops within minutes of the front steps. Beautifully appointed guest rooms, country gardens, pool, and luxurious spa will provide the perfect retreat for you to return to each evening.

After nine vintages, LANDO Wines has become a sought-after, boutique producer of highly allocated Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. They focus on producing wines with fresh fruit, intensity, and elegance... wines they enjoy drinking and sharing with friends.

The Venge (pronounced ven-ghee) family have farmed vitis vinifera varieties in Napa Valley for nearly half a century. Kirk Venge gravitated to winemaking at an early age and today continues to build upon his family's legacy as sole proprietor of Venge Vineyards. Venge wines are intense, purposeful, and complex.

Spend the day amongst the vines with private tours and tastings at LANDO Wines and Kirk Venge's Sonoma winery Croix Estate before joining the Landos and Venges for a dining experience you won't soon forget. Paired with wines hand-selected by your hosts from their personal cellars, Sam and Jennifer Lando invite you to their home for a decadent, Sonoma and Napa-themed meal that will leave you all feeling like family before it's over.

Take home magnums of LANDO's highly sought-after 2019 Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast Pinot Noirs. Only 12 magnums of each wine are produced annually and only offered to select charities and wine auctions. Each couple will also receive a magnum of 2018 Venge Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon to add to your cellars.
