Napa Valley Wine Vinyard w/Mustered Spring 2024

The Pacific Coast Wine Trail is a journey of discovery through the West’s premier wine regions, where each stop reveals unique terroirs, traditions, and a shared spirit of innovation.

Start your adventure in Napa Valley, home to world-renowned Cabernets, opulent estates, and exclusive tasting experiences. As we venture north, Sonoma invites you into its charming, relaxed wine country, where boutique wineries offer a more intimate connection with winemakers who treat guests like friends. Then, we cross into Oregon’s Willamette Valley, an explorer’s paradise famed for its lush landscapes and masterful Pinot Noirs—cultivated in a climate that’s unmistakably Pacific Northwest. Finally, Washington awaits, where vineyards in Yakima Valley and Walla Walla produce bold, expressive wines in a stunning setting. Here, local passion for crafting wine intersects with sustainability and cutting-edge techniques.

I’ll curate each tasting and destination, ensuring you experience the unique character of each region while uncovering hidden gems and unforgettable flavors. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or simply a wine lover at heart, this journey will open a new world of discovery, one glass at a time.
