What we’re about
This group is for local Sonoma County women who are interested in networking and socializing while learning about and drinking wine. Come join a fun group of women while we try new wines, cuisines and activities together! Must be 21 and older, all wine-tasting experience levels welcome. We meet at local wineries, small businesses, and restaurants monthly. Sorry gentlemen, this is for ladies only.

We have an attendance policy that members are expected to adhere to: If you sign up for a non-prepaid event, and No-Show to it (meaning you don't change your RSVP to 'Not Going', AND you don't show up to the event), it will count against you. If you No-Show to three events, you may not attend any events for 3 months. We will mark you as a No-Show after the event, because we understand that some people will be late for events and that is generally fine.
We are trying to cut down on the confusion or missed opportunities, and help the ladies who can and will attend events, so we can keep doing these in the future. Events that are prepaid will be handled in the manner stated on their listing in regards to cancellations or attendance. At every attended event, there is a $1 "slush" fund donation expected for every member starting in 2025. This helps us pay club expenses and expand our event offerings in the future.
I urge you to PLEASE put any events in your calendar that you plan to attend so you do not get marked as a No-Show at the time that you sign up for them. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, please message me directly. Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you all at a future event.
Cheers!

See all- Wine and Weapons Pairing at Barber Cellars- Now COEDBarber Cellars Winery Tasting Room, Petaluma, CA
Wine & Weapons?! Absolutely!
We can all use a little personal protection, men or women. Learn and shop while enjoying some lovely wines. Visit Barber Cellars on April 27th for a unique tasting and shopping experience. Wines provided by Barber Cellars and weapons and demos presented by Dai Phipps (friend of the cellar and the Sonoma County Women's Wine Club). We are pairing various weapons with wine at this event. Definitely fun and not to be missed!

Join us at any time and feel free to enjoy your tasting and ask questions at any time during the event. Wines may be purchased by the glass or as a tasting flight.
Come as you are ... this is a gathering and not a self-defense class. Sunday, April 27, 2025 from 1 pm to 4 pm. @ Barber Cellars, 112 Washington St, Petaluma.
Barber Cellars is a family winery dedicated to hand crafted, high quality wines made from their small, organically farmed vineyards. The Barbers’ style of wine is more elegant and spice driven with brighter acidity and lower alcohol. Their goal is to create new world wines with old world sensibilities: food friendly wines of elegance and complexity that honestly showcase the differences of individual terroirs and individual vintages with fruit from small lots of their organic vineyards. Located in the historic Hotel Petaluma, their tasting room was the first downtown tasting room in Petaluma.
25 spots available, guests are welcome! Please RSVP below only if you are able to make it.
Cheers!
- Mystical Blind South American Wine Tasting and Tarot!Santa Rosa, CA 95403, Santa Rosa, CA
Blind Tasting and Tarot! *Start time has now been moved to 1 pm, rather than 3 pm*
We are celebrating Spring with a blind South American wine tasting and shared food. We are focusing on South American wines for this celebration, so please bring a <$25 bottle of wine (any varietal, red or white) made outside the United States for the blind tasting and a food dish to share with the group. Some examples of countries that produce wine in South America are: Peru, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay, and Brazil.
We will have tasting notes, and provide a bag for your wine to go into so we cannot see the label or varietal.
One of our members, Kris, has generously offered to host our gathering at her lovely house in Santa Rosa, and I will send out the address two days before, on May 1st. 17 spots available, you may have up to one guest. Please RSVP only if you are able to make it, and list in the comments on this post what food item you are thinking of bringing so we don't have a ton of repeats.
We are also having a special guest and member of this club, Gretchen, of Sonoma Tarot at our gathering. She is available to do 30 minute readings, and I will have a sign up list. She is a wonderful tarot reader, and is available to guide you on your journey or with questions you may have. Her sessions will be 30 minutes long and $50 each per reading, paid by cash or Venmo. Please indicate in the comments what food dish you would like to bring and if you would like to sign up for a reading. There are 6 slots still available, and her readings will be done in a quieter area of the house so if you have private questions you can ask those. Here is her website if you would like to check her out: Sonoma Tarot
Cheers, I look forward to seeing you all there and celebrating spring with you!
