Silver Trident is a full-sensory experience that captures the eye first thanks to its head-to-toe Ralph Lauren-outfitted salon. Once seated in one of the plush experience spaces, the room fills with a bouquet of berries and spice as the wines are poured. But then, what is that familiar-yet-umami flavor? That would be the current pairing available onsite in the form of pizzettas, which are handcrafted mini pizzas topped with everything from truffle and duck confit to short rib and jam. Priest Ranch aims to surprise guests with its pairings as well. Currently guests may choose from what they call a bacon pairing, which is an ultra-high-end pork belly wine pairing, or a new reservation called Eat Dirt . No, it is not real dirt, but handcrafted chocolates designed in collaboration with Chris Kollar, one of Dessert Professional Magazine ’s “Top Ten Chocolatiers of North America.” Hestan , in contrast, does not offer a formal food pairing. Instead, it offers a “by reservation only” semi-private experience to taste their coveted wines while perusing the finest cookware in the world. Yes, they are those Hestans, as in the kitchen pioneers heavily credited for changing the cookware industry. Eat Dirt Hestan Estate

Also new to the sip scene, handcrafted brewery Mad Fritz just opened a taproom in town for those looking for a refreshing break from all the wine. While all of these eateries and tastings are within walking distance from each other — as is the sublime North Block Hotel , a boutique hotel limited to just 20 rooms but complete with a luxury spa and award-winning restaurant — there are notable vineyards for those willing to drive a few miles, including Chandon, which offers a five-course culinary journey with locally sourced delicacies prepared and presented in such a way that they enhance the wines while deliciously confusing the palate.
