Just in time for the winter holidays, Wing & Barrel Ranch — an exclusive members-only sporting club for the discerning outdoor and wine enthusiast in Sonoma, California — has unveiled a new suite of Ultimate Sporting Experience packages that even non-members can enjoy.
Wing & Barrel Ranch’s new Ultimate Sporting Experiences allows guests to experience the Sonoma Wine Country while savoring the outstanding dining, wines, lodging and outdoor pursuits usually only available to Ranch members.
With packages for singles, couples, and groups, Wing & Barrel Ranch’s Ultimate Sporting Experiences allow a full day of access to the ranch, including a choice of a guided upland bird hunting excursion or shooting on the acclaimed 25-acre clays course with a Vintner Member. Luxurious and all-inclusive, packages also include a two-night stay at The Lodge at Sonoma Renaissance Resort & Spa, food and wine pairings at the Ranch, a winery tour and tasting, and an exclusive dinner at one of Chef Charlie Palmer’s two Wine Country restaurants.
Located on a 1,000-acre parcel just 35 miles north of San Francisco, Wing & Barrel Ranch amenities include seasonal bird hunting, year-round sporting clays, Vintner Member gatherings, fine dining, customized shooting instruction, travel programs, dog training and boarding, and an exclusive cigar program, among other offerings.

Wing & Barrel Ranch sets itself apart from other upland hunting lodges through its relationships with Vintner Members from Northern California’s award-winning Wine Country. Participating Vintner Members for the Ultimate Sporting Experience packages are arranged by month and include a who’s-who of nationally acclaimed winemakers. These packages are intimate, exclusive, and are expected to sell out.

It’s important to me that as many people as possible have an opportunity to live closer to nature through hunting and shooting while enjoying the best food and wine available anywhere in the U.S. That’s the lifestyle that Wing & Barrel Ranch epitomizes.”
