the original vision for old-world luxury lodging while bringing the amenities and bathrooms in line with the most elite hotels in Europe. There are 18 wine regions in Sonoma County. We explored three of them: Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Dry Creek Valley. There is so much wine in Sonoma that it’s easy to forget that the region produces other things. It’s no surprise that olives and grapes tend to like the same growing conditions… and what’s better with wine than some crusty bread dunked in EVOO? Estate olive oil is produced at several wineries, including Jordan. Everything you need to complement your Sonoma wine adventure is just down the street and if you’re not a wine drinker, cheese and olive oil tastings are equally decadent. 16
