About Sonoma Wine Rides

Whether he’s sharing a story or snapping a great group photo, Jason brings the perfect balance of professionalism and relaxed charm.

​

Christine wears two hats—and she loves them both. She thrives in her long-time career with Safeway, where she brings her attention to detail and bright personality to her team. When she’s not at Safeway, she steps into her favorite role at Sonoma Wine Rides as our CCO—Chief Charcuterie Officer. Christine’s passion for presentation, delicious snacks, and thoughtful touches shines through in every tour. She makes sure each wine experience comes with something beautiful (and tasty) to enjoy along the way.

​

Together, we blend our skills, passions, and Sonoma hospitality to give guests a friendly, down-to-earth wine adventure. Every ride is personal, heartfelt, and made better with great snacks—thanks to our CCO!

​

A Few of Our Favorites

• Favorite Wine: Zinfandel - especially when it's bold and full of Sonoma character.

• Favorite Place: Lake Tahoe, our "magic spot." We love escaping there for fresh air, mountain views and a little time together away from the hustle.

• Favorite Way to Unwind: Traveling the world and exploring new food and wine destinations- always looking for inspiration to bring back home.
