Wineries:
- Benzinger: a walk from you and just a gorgeous setting. Bio-dynamic wines and worth going to the reserve tasting. The family sold it but have heard the wines are still as fabulous.
- Hamel Wines: a must if you can schedule a tour. The library tasting is amazing too. They may already be booked up but worth trying. Definitely one of our favorites. If you want, drop our name and see if that helps….we have been loyal wine members and used to do events there.
- Repris: another amazing experience and definitely need to schedule a visit vs. just a walk in. On the level of Hamel and the setting is spectacular.
- Talisman wines: need to set up a tasting. This is situated right downtown in a small building. Amazing pinos. We have been on again off again members because they’re so good.
Food:
- Yeti – amazing nepalese food and should have awesome vegetarian dishes too. They have gorgeous outdoor seating now too.
- Glen Ellen Star: great grilled veggies and pizzas. Very much a scene so make reservations.
Random
- Wine Country Chocolates: Started by a mom and daughter and their main facility was in GE (not sure anymore). They have a retail store in GE. You won’t be disappointed. I love the rocky road chocolate.
- Glen Ellen Village Market. Love, love, love. What’s not to love about a grocery store. It’s owned and operated by someone who
GE. People that work there love it too…food is off the hook and some of their prepared dressings and sauces, like tomatillo, are awesome. Great vibe all around.
- Our first office was in this building.… across from the GE Market. Had our initial office in a former wine storage closet and made it to the bigtime when we expanded upstairs.
- Jack London Park: You’ll love everything about this place. Soulful! Not dog friendly.
- Sonoma Valley Regional park – Nice hikes everywhere and dog friendly.
