By: Platypus Wine Tours Now that it's official, it's time to get planning. With an impending to do list, you may not be thinking about is what to do with your friends and family while you're away. Here are three helpful tips to ensure you and your loved ones experience an unforgettable time while in the Valley. #1: Host a welcome party With destination weddings it is common that your guests will arrive at different time. Take some time to connect with them by hosting a small welcome party. Host a brunch at one of the local eateries, or gather everyone at one of Sonoma’s impressive wineries like J. Rickards Winery in the lush Alexander Valley. Try any of their award-winning wines, or take part in their delicious wine and cheese pairing. J. Rickards Winery, 24505 Chianti Road, Cloverdale. jrwinery.com. (707) 758-3441. Contact for reservations. #2: Book a pre-nuptials wine tour Shake out your pre-wedding jitters with the ones you love most. Or consider sending your friends and family away for some fun while you are tidying up some last minute wedding details. "Why not take full advantage of one of the most amazing wine regions in the world by sending your loved ones on a day trip they're sure to never forget?" suggests Jenny Toomer, Director of Platypus Wine Tours.
