Touring Sonoma Wine Country with the Whole Family
Visiting wine country with kids often poses the challenge of balancing wine tasting for parents with fun for the little ones. Fortunately, in Sonoma, you can achieve the perfect compromise. If you’re planning a two- or three-day trip, consider hiring a nanny service like Nanny on Call, recommended by Sonoma Mission Inn, The Lodge, and MacArthur Place. This top-notch agency offers flexibility, allowing your children to either stay with the nanny or have the nanny accompany you to watch over them during outings.
While there are many exceptional wineries in Sonoma, some are particularly accommodating for families. Here are a few highlights:
Chateau St. Jean
Located at 8555 Sonoma Highway, Chateau St. Jean offers a delightful array of wines including Chardonnay, Viognier, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Fumé Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir. This winery has frequently been featured in Wine Spectator's Top 100 list. With its stunning gardens and ample picnic spaces, it’s a picturesque venue where artists often capture the beauty of the estate.
Benzinger Family Winery
Benzinger provides a 40-minute tram tour of their terraced estate ?" perfect for resting tired feet. Priced at $10, the tour offers an informative and scenic experience. For an additional $35, you can explore their impressive 27,000-square-foot wine cave. The winery’s gift shop is a treasure trove of unique items, and art lovers will appreciate the variety of wine country-themed artwork.
Viansa Winery
Viansa is a standout, especially for families, as it’s the only winery in Sonoma where your kids can enjoy pizza from an outdoor brick oven. The marketplace offers a selection of foods, gifts, and kitchenware. Positioned atop a hill, Viansa overlooks a stunning 90-acre waterfowl preserve, providing breathtaking views.
Train Town
A must-visit for families, Train Town is located at 20264 Broadway on Highway 12. Featuring a striking 47-foot clock tower modeled after Oakland's 16th Street Depot, Train Town is a haven for kids with full-sized cabooses from the 1930s and 40s to explore. Enjoy carnival-style rides like the dragon roller coaster, Ferris wheel, carousel, and airplane ride. Snacks are available at the station, and the 10-acre site includes over a mile of track with multiple bridges, trestles, and tunnels. Your adventure includes a stop at a petting farm with llamas, goats, sheep, and more.
These are just a few of the family-friendly destinations that make Sonoma Valley an ideal spot for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or looking for fun activities for the kids, Sonoma offers something for every family member.
