Wine tasting isn't usually an activity you can enjoy with your dog but the Kunde Family Estate in Kenwood, California changes that. The family winery offers a series of hikes meant to be experienced with your friendly canine at your side. Tours are conducted by Jeff Kunde, a fourth generation winegrower, and include a moderately strenuous hike from the Sonoma Valley floor up to 1,400 feet into the Mayacamas Mountain range. You and your dog will enjoy beautiful wine country views and learn about the Kunde Family Estate's sustainable winegrowing practices. After all the hard work you are rewarded with a wine tasting and a box lunch with a view. Hikes are scheduled for May 15, July 3 and Oct 9 and cost $45. A portion of the fee is donated to Canine Companions and Sonoma County Humane Society.
