California Rivers Tours Bodega Coast Inn Sonoma's Russian River California Rivers Tours

The Sonoma County Coast is blessed with vineyard-laden hills, splendid wineries, wine tasting rooms, appellation tours and festivals wining and dining. Framed by forests of towering redwoods and vineyard-studded hills and valleys, Sonoma has produced world-renowned wines for over 130 years. Sonoma’s rolling hills and moderate climate became a destination spot for many Italian immigrants at the turn of the century looking for land that resembled their homeland. As a result, many of the winemaking families of Sonoma still operate generations-old wineries and are a part of Sonoma County’s colorful viticulture history.

Sonoma's Russian River Valley Appellation. The Russian River Valley Appellation, formally established in 1983, is the largest in Sonoma County and in the Northern California Wine Country. With 12,000 acres devoted to wine grapes, just 55 miles up Highway101 from the Golden Gate Bridge and 30 miles from the Pacific Ocean by way of the Russian River, the appellation includes over 200 winegrowers and 50 wineries, the majority growing grapes for pinot noir and chardonnay. Its boundaries roughly follow the low-lying flat plain extending south and west of Healdsburg, following the Russian River as it turns toward the Pacific Ocean. The coastal hills at Guerneville mark its western boundary. Guerneville is at the heart of the Russian River Resort Community.  [Top]
