You might groan when you see it, but deep down you know you love it: Pumpkin Spice Season. Born from Starbucks’ skunkworks, this cinnamon-nutmeg-allspice sensation has become a fixture in America’s culinary calendar—and Sonoma Valley is not immune.
This week, Michelle Lacy and Mark Bodenhamer return to talk all things harvest, fall, and autumn—while taste-testing pumpkin spice treats ranging from pretzels and nuts to cupcakes and even Twinkies.
Along the way, we share upcoming events and dive into real listener questions in our “We Get Questions” segment:
-
We want to bring a group of corporate professionals to Sonoma Valley for a three-day meeting in November. What can we do besides sitting in a conference room?
-
Outside of wine tasting, what else can you do at a winery or vineyard?
-
Are the leaves changing colors in Occidental yet? (via text)
-
What can we do at night in Sonoma Valley?
-
Can I smoke cannabis when I go wine tasting?
