Local knowledge
Tasting in Santa Rosa
If you have already done Napa Cabernet, Santa Rosa and the Russian River is the day that shows you what else Northern California does. The wines are lighter, the setting is cooler and greener, and the tasting rooms are more laid-back. It's a different wine country experience entirely.
Russian River Valley AVA, plus Bennett Valley and Chalk Hill. Russian River Valley is cool and fog-influenced, which makes it Pinot Noir and Chardonnay country — a completely different wine style from Napa Cabernet. Bennett Valley sits to the southeast and Chalk Hill to the northeast. If you have already done Napa Cabernet, this is the day that shows you what else Northern California does.
The roads that matter. Highway 101 runs north-south through Santa Rosa. Highway 12 connects east to Sonoma. River Road and Westside Road run west into the Russian River Valley wineries — both are scenic and slow.
Landmarks. Downtown Santa Rosa, Railroad Square, the Luther Burbank Home and Gardens, the Sonoma County Airport (a common arrival point for wine country visitors).
Santa Rosa is the largest city in Sonoma County and a practical base for Russian River and Dry Creek tastings. It's about an hour from Napa. The Russian River Valley AVA here is known for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Local tip from your driver
Westside Road along the Russian River is one of the prettiest drives in wine country and has several great Pinot producers. We'll plan a Westside Road morning, lunch in Healdsburg or Guerneville, and an afternoon in Chalk Hill or Bennett Valley.
