Gary Farrell Winery Blogger Event: Elevation Tasting & Celebration of Sonoma's Diversity
In-person events are back and we couldn’t be happier! To kick off our first post COVID event, we partnered with client Gary Farrell Winery, who we absolutely adore, and invited bloggers to their Healdsburg Winery for an event-filled afternoon. Guests enjoyed a Gary Farrell Winery Barrel & Tank tour, terrace views of the Russian River Valley, and of course, a Gary Farrell Winery Elevation Tasting.
Check out another fun event we planned with Gary Farrell at Valette Restaurant (another Healdsburg brand we adore) on our blog here.

To start off the afternoon, we spent some time on the incredible Gary Farrell Winery Terrace. The views of the Healdsburg Valley with a glass of wine in hand is unmatched!
The Gary Farrell 2018 Russian River Selection Chardonnay was the perfect wine to sip on and chat with guests. This is their entry level Chardonnay (vs. some of their single vineyard Chardonnays) and at $35 it’s to die for. All of you Sonoma Chardonnay lovers MUST try this.
The next stop was the Barrel and Tank Room Tour. Learning about the Gary Farrell Winery’s history and winemaking process was so interesting. There is so much work put in behind the scenes just so we can have a glass of wine in hand.
Look at the furry friend that joined us!
A big thanks to Business Development Manager, Brian Shapiro, of Gary Farrell Winery for taking us on this special tour and planning the event with Emily Martin Events. He is such an incredible partner and client that we love working with!
After the tours, it was then The Gary Farrell Winery Elevation Tasting time! Learn all about the Elevation Tasting on the Gary Farrell Winery website here.
Guests enjoyed 5 Gary Farrell Wines during their Elevation Tasting including 2 Chardonnay Wines (A Ritchie and a Durell) and 3 Pinot Noirs (a Bien Nacido, Lancel Creek and a Martaela). The tasting also offers a selection of cheeses to pair perfectly with each glass of wine.
Here are our guests learning a lot from Gary Farrell’s educated and entertaining Wine ambassadors. They are so personable, knowledgeable and really guide you through the experience.
These smiles say it all! So happy to be back doing in person events with great company and incredible wine.
We had such a great time planning this event with Gary Farrell Winery and Vineyards. Thank you to all the amazing guests that joined us for such a fun afternoon. Cheers to in-person events being back!
