Randy Arnold, Barefoot Winery Ambassador, and husband, Greg Knight, will be your hosts for an afternoon exploring the incredible Alexander Valley Wine Region. Your tour begins with lunch for 2 people at a fabulous restaurant in Healdsburg. Next, we will visit wineries throughout the region. Alexander Valley is considered one of the best regions for Bordeaux varietals in California. We’ll take a vineyard walk to see what is happening where wines begin! We will finish our day tasting wine with some Alexander Valley grape growers to get the inside story. Randy’s family have owned vineyards in Alexander Valley since the 1880s. Your private wine tour can be personalized based on your interests.  Randy looks forward to introducing you to some of the folks behind the great wines of Alexander Valley.  It will be a memorable day spent in this beautiful valley!

 Dates/ times mutually agreed upon.

Upon arrival to the Arista Winery Estate, the 4-6 guests will be greeted by their private host where the experience begins with a tour of our thirty-six acre property. After the tour, your host will escort you to the Estate Pavilion, where Executive Chef Timothy Kaulfers will guide you through an interactive walk of the winery's vegetable, fruit, and herb gardens. After exploring the estate gardens, you and your guests will move into the Pavilion where you will be seated overlooking the picturesque views of Mt. St. Helena and the prowling vineyards of Russian River Valley.  Here you will enjoy a farm-to-table, five course meal paired with five of Arista's wines. This private experience is offered Tuesday- Saturday and requires a reservation.
