Gary Farrell Vineyards & Winery Inspiration Tasting in Sonoma

This summer, we had yet another incredible opportunity to partner with our friends at Gary Farrell Vineyards & Winery hosting a bloggers event sharing their fabulous Inspiration Pinot Noir Tasting with guests. We partnered with client, Gary Farrell Winery and spent a delightful afternoon with some of the most amazing bloggers! It is no doubt that the guests experienced incredible food & wine pairings and loved every minute of this fabulous experience at Gary Farrell Vineyards & Winery.

See below for more of an insider look of this memorable event!

Our visit began at the Gary Farrell Salon Tasting Room. It was just renovated, as you can tell by the stunning interior and chic lounging area. This has sweeping views of Healdsburg which are so stunning.

Gary Farrell has best view on Healdsburg Westside Road, trust us—and this is coming from someone who’s been to them all.

The beautiful set up for the Inspiration Tasting by Gary Farrell Wines. Take a look at the stunning view that came with it! This is their most exclusive, high-end tasting experience offered at $75 per person. More info on the Gary Farrell website here. Remember to mention we sent you when you book a visit for a special surprise treat from the team!

And here’s a closer look at the food & wine pairings we all enjoyed! We were joined by Estate Sommeliers Tiffany and Kevin as we sipped through our Pinot Noir Wines (there were 6 unique Pinot Noir wines shared each from a unique vineyard). Guests were guided through the distinct soils of the various vineyards showing where the wines draw their sense of place. It was such an intimate and educational setting and beyond delicious.

And we don’t want to forget mentioning the fabulous culinary pairings. These are created by the sommelier’s paired back to each unique wine and the culinary pairings are updated quarterly so if you return for a second tasting most likely you’ll enjoy a totally different wine & food pairing. The Gary Farrell team sure knows how to surprise & delight their guests!

Of course, part of our 6 Pinot Noir flight wine tasting was the exquisite cheese pairings, curated by the in-house Gary Farrell sommelier team. I have to say, it was quite a magical experience!

And here is the line-up of 6 highly allocated Gary Farrell Pinot Noir Wines, with each one being unique to a Russian River Valley neighborhood…

We were also given an exclusive tour by Kevin where we learned about the origins of each Pinot Noir. We recommend you plan a visit to this incredible winery and they’ll impress you with their incredible hospitality, stunning wines and of course beautiful setting. Make sure to mention that Emily Martin Events sent you for a little extra surprise.

Thank you to our friends, the amazing bloggers who joined us and made this experience one that we definitely won’t forget. Cheers!
