Join us on a fairytale adventure, as we explore true-to-life romantic getaways in Sonoma County.
Center Your Romantic Getaway in Sonoma County at Trattore Farms
Some of the most breathtaking and memorable getaways are off-the-beaten-path — like when you drive just a little bit further down the road than you think you should and stumble upon the ultimate picnic spot with no one else around. The experience feels as if it was made just for you at that specific moment in time.
Trattore Farms, nestled in the heart of Sonoma County’s Dry Creek Valley, is an ideal location for a romantic rendezvous. A hidden gem that offers unforgettable experiences on forty acres of rolling hillsides planted in vineyards and olive trees, it’s tucked away from the hustle and bustle of a touristed downtown and offers a quiet retreat to return to after a day full of excursions.
Listed as one of the top 25 wineries of 2024 by the San Francisco Chronicle, Trattore Farms is described as the most under-the-radar winery in Sonoma County.
Trattore Farms offers a diverse array of award-winning wines and olive oils, and the expansive patio provides one of the most scenic views in the county — a stunning 360-degree view that spans the length of Dry Creek Valley.
Every great romance starts with an amazing story. Explore a path less traveled and write a new chapter in yours.
