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 owner/winemaker present to tell you their stories and give you the details. Plus, it’s unlimited wine tasting for only $15.

It’s the Summer 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
* North American Press
* Premonition Cellars
* Rojas
* Tom Mackey Cellars
* Tara Bella Wines

Tita’s Mexican Cuisine food truck will be across from the warehouse starting at 12:00.

The cost is $15 per person. If you’re interested in participating, please sign up here , and I’ll contact you shortly with details about the meeting place and carpooling options.
