As the winter ski season comes to an end, its nearly time for trail running and wine tasting! Bonus points if you can combine the two :). So last weekend, instead of going skiing, we decided to go to Sonoma to pick up our wines (which we receive through our memberships at vineyards) and go for a trail run.
Barthelomew Park Winery is located at the foot hill of the mission highland hills. As always, the bay area surprises me with complete wilderness only minutes from the highway. So we decided to take a hike/ trail run through the hills on a trail called the Bartholomew Park trail. The trail is roughly 3 miles long and winds through creeks and trees. It’s a great getaway from the local wine traffic with only a few by passers along the way. If that wasn’t perfect enough, the trail allows dogs!!!! Snow was in full pest mode and had a blast running and bouncing around the trails :) Following this little excursion, we came back to the car and packed up to go drink some free and Ah-mazing wines. We love Barholomew! In fact, we have cancelled all Napa/ Sonoma memberships except this one. We love the staff and open park style feel and the lack of overdressed tourists! The vineyard has plenty of picnic benches and also space to set up your own blanket and hang out on the grass. If you’re looking for a bit more rusting experience, the Buena Vista Winery is right next door to Bartholomew. A super trooper can know out this awesome trail runs and both the vineyards in one go!
