Getting a group of sorority sisters together for a long weekend in California's wine country isn't easy. When 10 years have passed since graduation, all sorts of little things—kids, jobs, long distances—can get in the way.

That's how nine Tri Deltas from the University of California, Santa Barbara, ended up in Sonoma Valley last March. They rented a house in Santa Rosa to save money—but also to maximize their time together.

The sisters booked a private tasting at Ledson Winery & Vineyards, and when they weren't winery-hopping—packing three into one day—they were at the Lodge at Sonoma's spa.
