Your ultimate weekend getaway begins when you arrive to Bricoleur Vineyards four bedroom Vineyard Cottage and settle in with “Flying By The Seat of Your Pants” Brut Bubbles!
Friday | Take a private Harvest Hike and learn about the clones, blocks and history of this magical piece of Russian River land. The hike continues into the gardens where your group will harvest produce, herbs and greens with the resident gardener. Your hike concludes at a picturesque overlook enjoying estate wines, while the culinary team crafts an exquisite dining experience, including the produce and herbs you just harvested.
Enjoy your Atelier Bricoleur dining experience, a multi-course wine paired meal at the Chef’s Table, as you watch and interact with the chef as he prepares each course. Following dinner, enjoy an evening of bocce ball in the beautiful rose garden under the stars and moonlight trellis, laughing and toasting with your friends.
Saturday | Following a farm-fresh breakfast featuring estate eggs, honey and produce overlooking one of the estate Chardonnay vineyard blocks, your personal “Wings Over Wine Country” helicopter tour will lift off from Bricoleur Vineyards and transport you through the Russian River Valley, as you journey to Kick Ranch Vineyard.
At Kick Ranch, you’ll tour the 42 acre Fountaingrove District Vineyard, learning about the various clones and award winning wines crafted from these vines and picnic overlooking the Santa Rosa Valley. Next, you’ll be driven to Punchdown Cellars for an interactive session with Bricoleur’s winemaking team, sampling wines from the 2021 vintage and helping the winemaking team with their “Special Selection” process, before you return to your Vineyard Cottage to relax before the evening’s festivities.
Enjoy the dinner of a lifetime as the personal guests of Chef Charlie Palmer in the wine library at Dry Creek Kitchen. Chef will invite a surprise guest winemaker and pair a stunning collection of wines with 5 courses of culinary creations.
Sunday | Arise to a send-off brunch in the vineyard with mimosa’s three ways – Valencia orange, blood orange & grapefruit – as you dine alfresco overlooking the vineyards. Start your finale day in a private wellness session for your group, with a yoga class or sound healing experience. To finish off your weekend, you will venture north to the town of Geyserville for a private tour and wine tasting at Zialena Winery, followed by a family style Italian lunch at Catelli’s.
Along with memories of a lifetime, you’ll depart with estate products and signed copies of Chef Palmer’s latest cookbook as wonderful reminders of your weekend getaway.
