Wine + Design Lunch

Location: THE VINTNERS HOUSE AT ANABA WINES
12:30 – 3:00 PM

Nestled along meandering wine country roads, tucked behind ornate private gateways, Sonoma Valley is home to many exclusive estates that are as spectacular as they are secluded. John Sweazey and John Michael Sweazey, father and son proprietors of Anaba Wines, invite you to experience their newly built Vintners House in Sonoma Valley’s Los Carneros region. Broad windows look out over the estate vineyards, drawing the eye to the distant hills and Sonoma Mountain, while the warm and inviting atmosphere makes the inside feel like an extension of the Sweazeys’ family home. With rich blues, soft grays and deep browns, the color palette takes inspiration from nature – evoking fog, water, earth and even the anabatic winds that give the winery its name. Designed to harmonize with the rural setting, The Vintners House hints at a bygone era, complementing the 120-year-old farmstead that was Anaba’s original tasting room. Beyond the landscaped courtyard, bocce ball and paddle tennis provide Signature Sonoma Valley guests the opportunity to engage in a bit of competition after a very thoughtfully paired wine lunch.

Wine + Design Lunch

Location: Private Residence of Brion & Ronda Wise
12:30 – 3:00 PM

Nestled along meandering wine country roads, tucked behind ornate private gateways, Sonoma Valley is home to many exclusive estates that are as spectacular as they are secluded. Ronda and Brion Wise, will open up their private residence to a handful of Signature Sonoma Valley guests for a memorable WINE+DESIGN lunch. Sitting about 900 feet up along a vineyard adorned ridge, with panoramic 50-mile views of the San Francisco Bay, the B. Wise estate was designed with an eye toward minimizing the usual boundaries between indoors and outdoors, a style that Brion and Ronda enjoyed while visiting Italy and Provence. Guests will enjoy Ronda’s interiors, unique furniture and architectural aspects as well as Ronda’s art pieces which include original pieces by Orv Taylor of Manhattan Beach, California and Armando Martinez from San Miguel, Mexico. Ronda’s eclectic collection boasts sculptural pieces from local artisans and collectibles and fabrics collected on international travels.

Wine + Design Lunch

Location: Ledson Family Ranch
12:30 – 3:00 PM

Ledson Family Ranch dates back to the early 1900’s. A picturesque and simple setting located in the heart of Kenwood’s valley, the ranch is symbolizes a badge of rich family history and is decorated with some classics; a 170-year-old gas station, a 1929 Model A flatbed truck, a 1957 Studebaker Flatbed and many Ford tractors dating back to the 1930’s to name a few. Adorned with a large collection of classic cars and tractors curated by the Ledson men, the Carriage House is much more than a museum of cars, it is where the Ledson family is reminded of so many great times growing up and working on the ranch.
