5-DAY INSIDER’S SONOMA WINE + JAZZ ADVENTURE

This tour is now sold out! Please contact us at info@nullTasteVacations.com to be placed on the waitlist.

We have teamed up with two-time Grammy nominee singer/saxophonist Mindi Abair and her husband Eric Guerra, a 20+ year winery executive, for an insiders food, wine, and jazz adventure like no other!

This is an incredible small-group experience that features all the talents of both Mindi and Eric, who will be joining us for the entire trip. Mindi will bring in fellow musicians, play several concerts in divine wine country settings, and fill you in on the inside stories of her music career. These private shows will be a combination of jazz, blues, and rock and range from unplugged and chill to upbeat and lively.

With his 20+ years of experience in the wine industry and many years of living in Sonoma County, Eric has planned tastings and winery visits that any wine-lover would relish.

You will be relaxing in 4-star luxury hotel accommodations located in the heart of the storybook wine country town of Healdsburg, eating in the area’s top restaurants, and generally enjoying life! Join us on a vacation like no other!

What a blessing! It combined three things I have a particular passion for- music, wine and travel! Not just a tour, but a true "experience" of a lifetime! Extremely well planned and executed.
