There’s something so human about the way we return to the things that slow us down. Vinyl and wine share that same soulful quality — both enduring time, both made to be experienced without a fast-forward button. You don’t just consume them; you let them fill a space, set a mood, spark a memory.
Maybe it’s the crackle before the first note. Maybe it’s the sound of a cork easing free. Either way, they remind us that some of the best moments in life are still analog.
Here are some Napa and Sonoma vinyl-and-wine pairings that prove classics never go out of style.
Beaulieu Vineyard’s The Vinyl Room Experience – Napa Valley
“Step into Beaulieu Vineyard’s new space, The Vinyl Room! Experience this chic retro space where you’ll spin classic records from multiple decades, featuring hits from Fleetwood Mac, Culture Club, The Eagles, Stevie Nicks, and more. Wines by the glass will be available for purchase upon arrival, with the option to purchase by the bottle. Choose your favorite vinyl to spin, and feel free to bring one to share!”
Goosecross Vinyl in the Vineyards – Napa Valley
“…[join us] every Saturday & Sunday from 10am-3:30pm as the Goosers spin some of their favorite artists spanning multiple decades. Everything from Abba to Alannis, Jack White to Jack Black, The Beasties to The Bee Gees, T-Swift to … well, you get the point! Call to book your spot 707-944-1986”
Winery Sixteen 600 – Sonoma Valley
“We firmly believe that comparative tastings are one of the best ways to experience wines, so we’ll pour the wines side by side as we rock out to the vinyl of your choosing and talk about the world.”
Imagery Vintage & Vinyl Experience – Sonoma Valley
“…settle in for a seated tasting of five unique wines, thoughtfully paired with local cheeses and accoutrements—all while curating your own soundtrack from our record collection.”
Overshine Wine Co. – Healdsburg, Sonoma County
“For us, wine, food, people, and music are the things that feed the soul. That’s why our tasting room wouldn’t be complete without our listening station stocked with a deep vinyl collection. We welcome our guests to listen to the music that inspires us while enjoying our wines.”
When you’re ready to pair a little music with your wine, our Private Wine Tour curators can spin a day that’s all your own.
