cult sonoma video // di Rosa
We love art, and the Bay Area is certainly renowned for its uniquely creative vision—a vision which Sonoma area collector Rene di Rosa excelled at capturing in his extensive collection at the di Rosa preserve. We were sorry to hear of his recent passing. Sarah recalls, fondly, interviewing him for a story and how all [...]
video // Doe Bay Fest 2010
Way back in August, the Belle Creative home offices took their show on the road to beautiful Orcas Island in the San Juans—we started off the workcation with a weekend at the stellar Doe Bay Fest enjoying meteor showers and some amazing music (we called it “band camp for adults.”) Check out our video recap [...]

Congratulations to all involved with The Black Cat Cabaret for raising so much money towards protecting the welfare of needy pets in Sonoma Valley. If you weren’t there this year, be sure not to miss it next year. We were beyond “wowed!”

We’re under the spell of Scribe Winery . . . here’s a video we produced on the subject for Cult Sonoma! Update: We were able to return to Scribe Winery for their last bash before they remodel “The Hacienda.” The event was a collaboration between the winery and 18 Reasons:
A Sonoma Fourth
Here’s to amber waves of grain, jumpy castles and red, white & rosés. Another Fourth of July in Sonoma exploded in patriotic crepe-paper DIYisms, split-personality hometown bands, mustard-festooned wiener dogs, dissenting zombies, karate kids and fabulous fireworks. All in all it was a scene out of a Norman Rockwell painting, if Norman Rockwell wore glow [...]
video : cult sonoma // SVMA's Mix
Sonoma Valley Museum of Art‘s regularly occurring Mixes have become one of our favorite after hours activities in Sonoma. Above is a short video we produced for Cult Sonoma on the most recent Mix—a masquerade theme complete with local punk band Static People and surrounded by the fabulous Silence, Exile & Cunning exhibit (see Miya [...]

Another video we produced for cultsonoma.com—this one a summary of the first annual Huichica Music Festival at Gundlach Bundschu Winery.
video : cult sonoma // Heels & Wheels Fashion Show
We spent a lot of time promoting this event, so when the night came, we donned our best duds, overcame some stage fright with a speech, jumped into the DJ booth and enjoyed the show. Above is a video we produced for Cult Sonoma recapping the evening . . .
video // Face2Face with friends and colleagues!
Why do we love living and working in Sonoma? Let us count the reasons . . . or, we can just show you several of them! We loved gathering with our friends and colleagues at Face2Face last night. Sebastiani Winery was as gorgeous as ever! …………………………………. music // Sean Carscadden + Marty O’Reilly myspace.com/theshmartypants Sebastiani [...]
video // Heels + Wheels photo shoot
A fun video we produced to promote another aspect of Sonoma’s young, creative culture: fashion! Rising Sonoma photographer, Douglas Thompson, was on hand at Infineon Raceway and Jacuzzi Winery recently to photograph some hot couture in advance of Sonoma’s own upcoming Bryant Park West Fashion Show. Dubbed “Heels & Wheels” the second annual runway show—which [...]
Girlfriends Getaway // Sonoma Valley
Pop culture stereotypes dictate certain prerequisites for being girly, and by all accounts, I’ve failed most of them. I’ve only ever watched two episodes of Sex and the City. I don’t go gaga over Jimmy Choos or Manilo Blahniks. I’ve polished my fingernails perhaps once in the last three years, and I don’t sit around [...]
The Feast of the Olive // Olive Season : Sonoma Valley
Sonoma Valley’s top chefs gathered with Sonoma Valley’s top foodies to celebrate Sonoma’s “other” fruit: the wonderful, lovable olive. Ramekins Culinary School was host to the crowd of hungry Sonomans who enjoyed each, unique course—all using the olive as an ingredient and perfectly paired with a Sonoma wine. Check out more photos below the jump…
There are, in fact, young people in Sonoma!
One of Belle Creative’s many missions is to raise awareness of Sonoma’s young adult community as well as Sonoma’s art community—in fact, we launched Cult Sonoma to help do just that! So, we were delighted to help be part of the launch team of Sonoma’s Young Professionals and help build the community of young adults [...]
Martinis, madness.
While madness was, sadly, found to be at a minimum, the martinis themselves ascended to marvelous melodrama at Sonoma Valley’s ever popular Martini Madness. A video below and more photos after the jump should give you a taste . . .
Face2Face // 10.28.09 : Cornerstone : Sonoma

Thank you to Cornerstone Sonoma, Heart of Sonoma Valley, Sonoma Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Sonoma Valley Visitors Bureau for organizing and [...]
