Generously hosted by Sonoma friends, Rosanne Palmisano and Laurie Katz
The Sonoma Overlook hike was the scene of our second date. As one of our favorite hikes, it offers beautiful vistas of the Sonoma Valley and has a gentle uphill grade with some steps along the way. It's about a 2.4 miles loop with a 400-foot elevation gain for you Garmin fans. At the top we'll have a champagne toast to friendship and love! Active wear with sturdy tennis shoes or trail shoes suggested. No hiking boots needed. Remember to dress in layers as the weather will likely start in the 50/60's and climb 10 degrees during the hike. Please arrive by 9 am so we can all hike together.
5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Wine country attire (see FAQ tab for more details)
Bartholomew Estate is a beautiful 375-acre park and winery and an amazing hiking, picnicking, and wine tasting spot. We'll be sipping award-winning estate wines, enjoying Mediterranean food from our local fave, Spread Kitchen, and savoring the natural beauty of the estate vineyards. We have a strict time limit of two hours at the winery, so please plan to be timely. We want to enjoy your company to the fullest. Acoustic music will be provided by local musician, Clay Bell. We'll be outside on a knoll for the entire event with some portions in sun and others in the shade, so wear sensible shoes and dress in layers. Remember that as the sun goes down in Sonoma, the temperature drops suddenly. But, a nice glass of wine will warm your heart from the inside out.
5:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Garden Party/Wine Country Chic attire (see FAQ & Logistics tabs for more details)
Thank you for being part of our ceremony of marriage. That's really the most important part of the whole weekend and we're honored to be surrounded by our best friends and family members to share this joyful event. Post ceremony we'll treat you to cocktails and garden exploration followed by a farm to table dinner on the lawn. Chris has curated a 90-minute set of classic rock tunes performed by the Jesse Brewster Band. Noise curfew at 10 pm so the partying stops then!
