Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, bachelorette, or simply craving a well-deserved escape with your best friends, Sonoma Valley is the perfect setting for a rejuvenating and joy-filled girls’ getaway. With world-class wine, breathtaking views, and a legendary spa at Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa, here’s how to make the most of 72 hours in wine country.

Day 1: Arrival & Wine Country Welcome

Check-in at Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa
Start your getaway in style with a warm welcome at Fairmont Sonoma, a historic property nestled among towering oaks and situated atop natural mineral hot springs. Check into your luxurious guest room or suite with a patio, then toast to your trip with a glass of Gloria Ferrer Sonoma Brut, compliments of the resort.

Late Afternoon: Explore Sonoma Plaza
After settling in, head to the charming Sonoma Plaza, just 7 minutes away. Browse chic shops like Perlé and Wildflower Boutique, then stop for a wine tasting at Pangloss Cellars or SIGH Champagne & Sparkling Bar.

Evening: Elegant Welcome Dinner
Return to Fairmont Sonoma for a girls’ night kickoff dinner at Santé, the hotel’s signature restaurant. Celebrate with seasonal wine country cuisine and toast the start of your weekend with bubbles and beautifully plated desserts.

After Dinner: Toast at 38° North Bar
Wrap up the evening with creative cocktails at 38° North Bar, Fairmont Sonoma’s stylish lobby bar. Cozy up by the fire, catch up, and set the tone for the rest of your getaway.

Day 2: Spa, Sips & Sunsets

Morning: Spa Day at Fairmont Sonoma
Start the day at the award-winning, 40,000 square foot Fairmont Spa—a must for any girls’ trip. Book a Fleur de Vigne Body Bliss massage, Vitamin C Facial or even a tarot card reading, then spend the morning floating in the ancient healing 98°F Watsu Pool, relaxing in the eucalyptus steam room, or sipping tea by the fireplace.

Midday: Poolside Lunch
Order an al fresco lunch and a mocktail from the Spa Café in the comfort of your private cabana and soak up the sun in your spa robe—it’s vacation, after all.

Afternoon: Private Wine Tasting
In the afternoon, enjoy a private tasting at a nearby winery. We recommend:

• Ram’s Gate Winery for modern elegance and incredible views
• Gundlach Bundschu for a laid-back, music-loving vibe
• Three Sticks Wines for a luxurious experience in a historic adobe

Evening: Suite Party with Room Service
Instead of heading out, bring the party to your suite. Order a full spread from in-room dining, pop some bubbly, and enjoy a cozy girls’ night in with pajamas, playlists, and laughter. Don’t forget dessert!

Day 3: Wellness & Wine Country Farewell

Morning: Yoga & Light Bites
Start your final day with a morning yoga or Pilates Mat class (offered at the hotel), then grab smoothies or French-inspired pastries and soak up the sun on the Santé patio overlooking our sparkling pool.

Afternoon: Wine Country Picnic
No girls’ getaway to Sonoma is complete without a relaxed afternoon among the vines—and Cline Cellars offers the perfect backdrop. Just a short drive from Fairmont Sonoma, this charming, family-owned winery invites you to enjoy a picnic on their scenic estate grounds, surrounded by willow trees, rose gardens, and ponds. You can enhance your experience by ordering a seasonal cheese & charcuterie board for two or a picnic basket that serves up to four guests, featuring an assortment of cheeses, cured meats, crackers, and seasonal accompaniments. Pair your picnic with a bottle of their signature rosé or zinfandel and soak up the sunshine with your besties—it’s the kind of wine country moment you’ll want to relive again and again.

Optional Final Stop: Cheese Tasting or Sparkling Wine with a View
Before heading out, stop by The Sonoma Cheese Factory for tasting of their award-winning selections, or Gloria Ferrer for one last glass of sparkling rosé with panoramic vineyard views.
