Sonoma Wine Country Tour

Saturday, October 9

Rhonert Park

Come join your MG friends for a backroads tour to a specialty foods store, the famous Coppola Winery, and a fun diner.

The first part of the tour will take us out through the backroads and pasture lands of Sonoma County and through the historic towns of Valley Ford, Freestone, Occidental, and Forestville. Our first stop will be at Kozlowski Farms, who have offered  specialty foods from the Russian River Valley since 1949. The store is filled with an extensive selection of unique gift items as well as homemade pies, tarts, and cookies from the store bakery. Family favorites include old fashioned jams, no-sugar-added fruit spreads, gourmet mustards, berry vinegars, fudge sauces, salad dressings, barbecue
sauce, and chipotle grilling sauces.

We will leave Kozlowski Farms and head north through the rolling countryside and vineyards of the Russian River Valley and Dry Creek Valley to the fabulous, newly refinished Francis Ford Coppola Winery. Enjoy touring the grounds and swimming pool (for kids only), and explore the Movie Gallery displaying memorabilia from Francis Coppola’s film career (including films like Apocalypse Now, The Godfather, and Tucker). The original Tucker is on display, as are four Oscars and six Golden Globe awards (and these are the real ones). For those inclined, you can enjoy wine tasting at one of the three wine tasting bars or have a drink at their full bar.

Our final destination and lunch stop is Adel’s, which is just down the road in  ealdsburg. Adel’s is a ‘50s type of diner with an extensive, reasonably priced menu and excellent food. We have reserved a special section at the restaurant for our group.

When and Where: Meet at 9:00 am at Sonoma Valley Bagel and Cafe, 350 Rohnert Park Expressway, Rohnert Park. Take 101 north, exit at Rohnert Park Expressway and head west for a half mile. Sonoma Valley Bagel will be on your right.
