touring sonoma = the sonoma lodge + safari west and missoni pellegrino encounter

I know that the Missoni-designed Pellegrino is no novelty news, as the co-operation was announced last summer, but I only had recently my first encounter with the said bottle while in Sonoma Valley. I like Pellegrino and this bottle made it even more enjoyable. So Missoni with those trademark patterns. A delightful encounter in the beautiful Sonoma Valley.

Our trip to Sonoma Valley this time was a family one, but if you are planning a trip to Sonoma region for some wine tasting, Sonoma Lodge is worth putting on your short list – it’s tasteful environment, has in-situ wine tasting, good food and there is also adult-only spa (normal heated pool and spa in the garden is for kids also). It can’t get much more relaxing than that. It feels very lush and somehow reminds me very much of being in Tuscany.

And once you are in the region and want to take a brake from wine tasting Safari West is a good place to do so. Their off-the-road tours are geared towards a more mature audience and you can enjoy a barbecue at the end of the two-hour tour around the estate (but the tours were very enjoyed by our younger children also: it’s such an unusual feeling to see all these exotic animals grazign around in California!).

Even without the animals a tour around the estate would be very calming and inspiring
