Sonoma Winery: Jacuzzi




 



wine in a chocolate cup tasting $5

pretty courtyard for events


 

FREE olive oil and balsamic tasting
Jacuzzi is my second favorite winery in Sonoma after sister winery, Cline.  Here are the many reasons why:

  • Gorgeous grounds - the back has a beautiful patio that you can hang out in.  I hope they'll have heaters during the winter season.  Further outside is a courtyard for events like a wedding with a view of their vineyards.
  • FREE tasting of 5 wines!  Check out the 2-page selection in my pics above.  Their wines are Italian-inspired and pretty good at that.  The pours are just small (factual, not a complaint) and doesn't include the reserve wines.  Their reserve wines are good btw and just $1 per taste so do try it.  To get a reserve wine tasting for free, download the Winery Finder app.
  • We also did their wine in a chocolate cup for $5 tasting.  Their late harvest Aleatico is a Port-like wine and paired well with the dark chocolate cup.
  • FREE olive oil and balsamic tasting!  I particularly loved their Fig Balsamic.  We're definitely buying after we finish what we have at home.

Quick notes on other Sonoma wineries:
  • Cline - my favorite winery in Sonoma!
  • Gundlach Bundshu - love their cabernet franc and hubby likes their gewurtzraminer
  • Ravenswood - I know they're known for their zins but we like them for their muscat and gewurtzraminer
  • Viansa - beautiful grounds and view, crappy wine
  • Chateau St Jean (Kenwood) - pretty grounds, decent wine
