4. Make Your Own Wine: Sonoma County Grape Camp, California
During the intense 3-day, hands-on seminar in late September participants in the Sonoma County Grape Camp work side by side with renowned wine-makers to learn the art behind the science of wine-making.
If you’d prefer the contrarian approach, go to Sonoma in the spring during the off-season pruning festival–it’s a more local experience that gets you out into the vineyards.
