My wife and I have wanted to spend a romantic weekend touring Sonoma Valley California testing wine and relaxing. We came up with this plan before our daughter was born nearly 11 years ago. Fast forward to today and my 50th Birthday, this trip is now it is at the top of my Buckitlist and a great 50th b-day present. Here is our plan for a romantic weekend in Sonoma:

Day One: Fly to San Francisco on Thursday night and stay at the Omni San Francisco Hotel and have dinner at the House of Nanking (one of the top rated Chinese food in San Francisco).

Day Two: Spend the morning walking around down town San Francisco, before picking up a car from Getaround.com (this is a easy to use peer to peer car rental app. Check out this fun weekend rental we will use to tool around Sonoma) and drive to the Mission Inn and Spa in Sonoma. Once we arrive there are some relaxing activities planned to get us ready for a full day of tasting on Saturday.

Day Three: A town car will pick us up at 9:30 and drive us from winery to winery all day! We don't have our list of must see wineries yet. If you have any recommendations please let us know. After a long day of drinking wine we may have room service for dinner, but open to any outstanding restaurants recommendations.

Day Four: Lite breakfast then off to a private wine tasting at the Benzinger Vinyards. After private tasting we head to Imagery Vinyards for a VIP tour, tasting and picnic lunch. Imagery is know for their use of unique varietals in their wines. After a nice nap we will head out for dinner. Not sure which restaurant yet but maybe one of these, the Farmhouse, Barndiva,
