MEET YOUR GUIDE
Hi, I'm Dave — your wine buddy.
I didn't grow up around wine, and I didn't arrive with a refined palate or a roadmap. I leaned in with curiosity.
Over the years, I've learned that wine gets a lot more interesting when you stop worrying about getting it "right" and start paying attention to what's in front of you — the place, the people, the stories, and the moment you're sharing.
At Bearing Wine, I think of these experiences less as tours and more as opportunities to share interesting wine, meet the people who make it, and explore Sonoma wine country together in a relaxed, welcoming, and meaningful way.
Whether you're brand new to wine or have been exploring it for years, you're welcome here.
