"Che appiccicoso!" Sara said as merlot grapes squished between her toes. The annual Italian Festival in Sonoma's Sebastiani Winery proved to be a hit with the kids. Besides the grape stomping, children chased each other around enormous oak barrels with wood carvings depicting the Harvest Calendar and The Last Supper. In traditional Italian style, accordianists kept our feet tapping while some adults sipped wine and everyone nibbled on pizza or pasta.
Sebastiani Winery has a rich history whose founder came from Farneta, Italy in 1874. It's highly worth a visit.
