Hi, this is Vanessa, your ENLIGHTENMENT salon host.

Join me for one of the best wine tasting experiences in Northern California. It’s in a nondescript warehouse in a non-touristy part of Sonoma County. But it’s a unique opportunity to try and buy wines from small but special wineries, each with their winemaker present to tell you their stories and introduce you to their wines.

It’s the Spring 2026 Micro Winery Open House, featuring small custom-crush and micro-wineries in Sonoma County. Most of them don’t have public tasting rooms; they all make their hand-crafted wines in this nondescript warehouse. Without their own winemaking facilities and marketing budgets, they rely on word-of-mouth and tastings like this one to stay in business. Their annual production could be just a few hundred cases, which means you’ll be one of the fortunate few to try these bottles, get details directly from the vintner, and say you knew them when.

Taste small-lot batches from award-winning micro-wineries, including:

* Elaine Winery
* Inspiration Vineyards
* Intent Wines
* Oxlee Graham Wines
* Premonition Cellars
* Rojas
* Tom Mackey Cellars
* Van Der Kamp

Chef Gissella’s Peruvian Cuisine food truck will be across from the warehouse starting at 12:00.

The cost is $20 per person. If you’re interested in participating, please sign up here to show that you’re interested, and I’ll contact you shortly with details on paying, meeting place and carpooling options. Because there are only 15 spots, the first who pay (via Venmo, PayPal or Zelle) are the first ones to get them.
