One of my favorite regional wine event extravaganzas, Taste of Sonoma returns in-person on June 25th, 2022 from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the beautiful grounds of Kendall-Jackson Wine Estate & Gardens.
I've attended several Taste of Sonoma events over the years when the annual celebration was hosted at historic MacMurray Ranch in the Russian River area. I never made it to its spot at Sonoma State University, though I'm happy to hear it has landed at Kendall Jackson.
One of Sonoma County’s most highly anticipated events of the year (presented by Vintec), this year's action-and-flavor-packed day features a fantastic, walk-around wine tasting, guided wine seminars, garden tours, premium wine experiences, lots to eat from local food trucks, themed lounges and activities.
With access to over 60 varietals from 18 unique growing areas, Sonoma County’s legendary winemakers have crafted wines for all palates.
Taste of Sonoma tickets are on sale now, take advantage of early bird pricing through May 31 at TasteofSonoma.com.
“We look forward to hosting Taste of Sonoma at Kendall-Jackson this year,” said Randy Ullom, Winemaster & Senior Vice President, Kendall-Jackson. “Locals and visitors look forward to sampling the exceptional variety of Sonoma County wines each year and our 4-acre culinary gardens, expansive lawn and al fresco patio will provide a picturesque backdrop for the food and wine experience.”
Soak up the sun and enjoy the bounty that Sonoma County has to offer in one immersive day. Sample Sonoma County wines from across the region and meet the vintners in the Grand Tasting AVA Tents.
VIP Club Reserve ticket holders will enjoy early admission at 11:00 a.m. with access throughout the day to limited production, reserve, and award-winning wines poured by the winemakers and owners of Sonoma County’s world-class wineries.
“Vintec is excited to join Taste of Sonoma as the Presenting Sponsor and Official Wine Storage Partner,” said Terri Fenwick, Senior Director of Sales. “Keeping wine stored at perfect temperatures in the hot summer sun will be a key part in elevating the tasting experience.”

Grab a beverage from the beer garden or the Kendall-Jackson Garden Bar to enjoy with complimentary dishes from the Nosh Food Truck Plaza.
