The harvest is underway. As you drive around Sonoma County you'll witness this scene repeated over and over going on into the night and early hours of the morning. Once the grapes are picked and loaded into these huge containers they are taken to a winery to be crushed into the grapejuice that will eventually be blended, fermented and made into some of the world's finest wines.

Avoiding a Disaster
Not such a pretty picture, but could have greeted the guests when they arrived Sunday evening.
Instead of a relaxing, romantic vacation hide-away, a big pool of water from a leaking dishwasher would have been the first focus. Presentations had a bouquet of fresh flowers and a bottle of Sebastiani Estate wine waiting along with a note explaning the situation.
Presentations made quick arrangements with repair personnel and will have the washer back in working order Monday morning. The couple understood and appreciated the quick remedy to the problem. They said the wine was excellent!

Back to Basics - Vacation Home Maintenance
Owning a second home, or vacation rental in the Sonoma area has its challenges. We have clients who live nearby but simply don't have the time to prepare for guests. Presentations Sonoma helps by making certain everything is in tip top condition. We check to be sure there are no unpleasant surprises waiting such as plumbing, heating. cooling. security or other property damages. When clients and their guests arrive they have fine fresh toiletries, properly folded towels, chocolates, flowers and all the finishing touches to make their Sonoma vacation relaxing and enjoyable. Presentations works with owners to provide the ambiance they desire for each property and each guest.

VIP Shopping Around Sonoma
Presentations Sonoma arranged a VIP shopping tour around Sonoma for a group staying at one of Sonoma's B&B's. We scheduled appointments at some of Sonoma's most amazing establishments for these special guests. They visited Sign of the Bear for gourmet accessories, Summervine for for dishware and Sonoma Country Antiques for home furnishings. Lunch at The Estate followed and then they continued shopping at some of Sonoma's fun clothing shops. Each store's staff greeted with special services while the girls enjoyed sipping some Gloria Ferrer sparkling wine. "We never had such a great time shopping and each of us found unusual and beautiful things to take back to Nebraska", says Judith H.
