The highly regarded "the girl & the fig" is one of the most sought after dinners of Gay Wine Week each year so book early! Their country french food with a passion is some of the finest in town.
Belden Barns perched at 1,000 feet on the Northwest shoulder of Sonoma Mountain, is a true California gem. The unique location allows Nate & Lauren to take advantage of ideal grape growing conditions. When morning fog, afternoon sun, pacific breezes and ancient volcanic soils meet passionate vintners, it’s hard not to produce exceptional - dare we say - magical wines.
This is quite a magical pairing to experience!
