Sonoma podcast host Tim Zahner will be the first to tell you… he’s “expert-adjacent.” 😄 On this episode of The Sonoma Spiel podcast, Tim hangs out with two pros from The Lodge at Sonoma who 'actually' know how the magic happens: Lori Noble — Hospitality Coordinator & Concierge (she can build your perfect Sonoma day in about 90 seconds) Evan Perslow — Marketing Manager (former Vans shoe-store guy who can basically guess your shoe size on sight) We talk concierge myths (“Do I have to pay extra?” “Is it fancy?” “Can they really get me in?”), how travelers plan trips now (spoiler: a lot of people arrive with zero reservations), and what the Lodge at Sonoma offers—from cottage-style rooms and spa vibes to on-site dining and an easy shuttle to the Plaza. Then we jump into \"We Get Questions” with quick, super-local tips on: Best bar seating for solo travelers Easy 60–90 minute hikes (Sonoma Overlook Trail + more) Mustard flower baby photos… without trespassing Sparkling wine picks Great patios for lunch with a small group Where to find beer options if not everyone wants wine More info: The Lodge at Sonoma: thelodgeatsonoma.comSonoma Valley events: sonomavalley.com 🍷 Save up to 25% on Sonoma wine tastings with the Sonoma Tasting Pass!
