The Wine Road |
|
Plentiful winery picnic areas and wine-worthy takeaway food from such beloved, timeless outlets as the Dry Creek General Store and the Jimtown Store, make a trip along the Russian River Wine Road breathe new life to the poet Omar Khayyam’s notion of the ingredients for a perfect moment: “A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou.”

DESCRIPTION |
|
Wending through some of the most picturesque wine country in California, the Russian River 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. 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. Along the way are some of California’s oldest wineries, run by vintners whose commitment to tending the vines and producing world-class wines, true to the appellation, runs back generations.
Founded more than 30 years ago, the Russian River Wine Road is an association of wineries and lodgings 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 lodgings. 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.
