See, taste, touch and smell several varietals of vegetables such as corn, eggplant, squash and tomatoes from around the world in our Vegetable Trial Garden. While you may find one or two varieties of these vegetables back home, you can see several varieties of whatever is in season at one time here. Each year we cultivate more than twelve basil varieties, dozens of squash, lettuces from all over the world, over 180 varieties of heirloom tomatoes and more.

Our Tomato trials are the highlight of our garden. Planted according to color, the varieties are fascinating. Great White, Hawaiian Pineapple and Black from Tula can all be found here, to name a few. Every September, we host our Heirloom Tomato Festival where attendees have the opportunity to sample with wine and taste recipes prepared by the region's top chefs. If you have not made a trip to Sonoma County recently, this festival is the perfect excuse.
