Sonoma Creek Inn’s New Stay, Tour Package

You want to go wine tasting when you visit the wine country. But you don’t know the area well; how will you navigate the back roads to find the smaller, hidden-gem tasting rooms? And what about drinking and driving — one of you better forgo tasting to be the designated driver? There’s a better way, and Sonoma Creek Inn has found it, partnering with Platypus Wine Tours to provide a carefree and fun wine country getaway package.
    The Stay & Tour Sonoma package includes one night in a queen or king guestroom at Sonoma Creek Inn, two tickets for a full-day Platypus Wine Tour to four wineries, and a picnic lunch for two. 
    The package is valid Sunday through Thursday nights, Oct. 27 through March 31, for $229 per couple in a queen guestroom and $239 for a king room. Additional nights at the inn are available for $79 per night. (Additional nights do not include wine tours.) Wine tasting fees are not included, and are payable to the wineries directly.
    A favorite with discriminating visitors to Sonoma County, Platypus Wine Tours focus on smaller, less crowded wineries, places typically skipped by the big bus tours. The company’s experienced guides are well-versed in the region’s wine-making history and culture.
    Located in Sonoma on Boyes Boulevard, just down the road from the world-renowned Sonoma Mission Inn, Sonoma Creek Inn’s 16 rooms do not skimp on amenities. Many rooms have private outdoor patios or porches. All rooms have individually controlled heat and air-conditioning, complimentary wireless Internet access, telephones with data ports, in-room refrigerators, hairdryers, ceiling fans and cable TV.
