Out In The Vineyard

A Sonoma local for the past 16 years having moved from New York, Gary finds the wine country as an amazingly beautiful part of our country; surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards, world class wineries and fabulous restaurants.  Gary has worked in the restaurant business for over 25 years, where hospitality has been his passion. From working at the world class Auberge Du Soleil in Napa to the renowned, “the girl & the fig” in Sonoma, Gary has created relationships with many local winemakers, restaurateurs and hoteliers over the years. Gary currently sits on the Board of Directors of the Sonoma Valley Visitors Bureau and looks forward to working with many industry insiders to bring incredible wine country experiences to his “Out In The Vineyard” guests.
