About this concert
Welcome to my hometown of Healdsburg… in the heart of Sonoma wine country, a town so special that Condé Nast named it one of the finest cities in the country.
I invite you into our world… where our friendships with winemakers, chefs, and musicians will create an unforgettable Adventure just for you. An intimate group trip, you’ll start each day from the boutique Hotel Healdsburg in the center of our charming town and every moment is personally curated by us. We’ll take you to the world-renowned regions of Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Along the way, you’ll enjoy private winery visits to the uber-luxury Robert Young Winery, the site of one of our very first dates, and a winery that Eric used to manage, the legendary Buena Vista Winery. We’ll visit the most sought after cult brewery in the world, the Russian River Brewing Co (yes, this is beer in Sonoma as well… trust us … we know our alcohol).
Oh, you will eat… and eat very well at my favorite Sonoma restaurants including dinner at The Dry Creek Kitchen, and a private lunch that may include more lobster than you’ve ever seen in one place, and of course, dinner at the most popular restaurant in Healdsburg, The Matheson. You’ll understand why when you visit!
We love to eat and drink, but what sets our Adventures apart is the music… a truly exclusive experience you won’t find anywhere else. I will host intimate private concerts with my friends and guest musicians, set in stunning locations across picturesque Sonoma. Some past artists have included Vincent Ingala, Richard Elliot, Peter White and Rick Braun.
And, if you’re interested in extending your stay with me, there is an optional one-day extension add-on that has become the signature day of our domestic Adventures, where you will experience the very finest Sonoma has to offer.
I can’t wait to welcome you into this extraordinary place, a little slice of heaven we call home!
Cheers! Mindi 🎶 + Eric 🍷

What a wonderful weekend we had with Mindi Abair at the Wine and Jazz New Year's Event. The music was fantastic, the venue was great and the people were fun.
We really enjoyed ourselves and would not hesitate to attend next year.
