Winding through some of the most picturesque wine country in
California, the Wine Road takes visitors on a sensually gratifying
journey of natural beauty, sublime tasting experiences and
memorable personal encounters with the state’s most devoted
and individualistic winemakers.
Founded more than 30 years ago, the Wine Road is an association of
wineries and lodging in the Alexander, Dry Creek, and Russian River
Valleys of Northwest Sonoma County. From its modest beginning as an
organization of nine wineries, it has grown into a spirited
constellation of more than 140 wineries and 50 inns. It’s not
actually a “road” in the sense of a single, continuous
stretch of paved highway, but more of a treasure map to the many
jewels nestled among the hills and valleys of a region where fresh
air, fine wine and exquisite cuisine await those who traverse
it.
The Russian River itself meanders among a collection of vineyards
that, combined, represent a pastiche of micro-climates and soils
that yield a startling diversity of ultra-premium varietals. To be
sure, each appellation has its stars: Russian River Valley’s
is Pinot Noir and Chardonnay; Dry Creek Valley is known for its
Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc; and, Alexander Valley is known for
its Cabernet and Merlot. But literally dozens of other
international varietals are grown in all of these regions,
including Barbera, Carignane, Dolcetto, Sangiovese, Grenache,
Reisling and Gewurztraminer, just to name a few.
Even for veteran wine travelers already well acquainted with
California wine country, the Wine Road is likely to be uncharted
territory, sure to imbue a fresh sense of discovery.
