Wine Road, Northern Sonoma County

Wine Road, Northern Sonoma County Wine Road is the best source for discovering Northern Sonoma County’s exceptional wine country.
(362)

Established in 1976, Wine Road is made up of 135 wineries and 30 lodgings from the Alexander, Dry Creek and Russian River Valleys. Founded in 1976, Wine Road is an association of wineries and lodgings in the Alexander, Dry Creek, and Russian River Valleys of Northern Sonoma County. From its modest beginning as an organization of nine wineries, it has grown into a spirited constellation of 200 wine

ries 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. The Wine Road coordinates three annual wine tasting events for visitors: Wine & Food Affair, Winter WINELand and Barrel Tasting Weekend. Current information on all of our member wineries and lodgings can be found on the Wine Road website, where you can also request a FREE Wine Road map.

BEAUTY ALONG THE WINE ROAD: ALEXANDER VALLEY

As you leave Healdsburg and head east on Alexander Valley Road, the scenic beauty is immediate, and it just gets better and better. As you cross the Jimtown Bridge, also known as Alexander Valley Road Bridge, the valley’s expanse opens up and you can see mile and after mile of breathtaking views.

Now you might wonder what you might have discovered if you’d driven down West Soda Rock Lane a few miles back. If you’re not in a hurry, every backroad is worth the time to travel down it and enjoy the scenery.

Whether you continue straight ahead or turn left at the Hwy 128 intersection, the beauty of Alexander Valley is all around you. And, there are more backroads to explore, like Red Winery Road where you can stop at Robert Young Winery, or Chianti Road that will lead you to J. Rickards Winery with more stunning views of Alexander Valley.

Is this the year you finally explore the beauty of the Alexander Valley?

: Wine Road Paid it Forward!

Wine Road donated $10 to the Redwood Empire Food Bank, from each Holiday Wine Trail ticket we sold. This ended up being a $1000 donation. Together, we helped provide meals for neighbors in need during holiday season and beyond. Thank you to everyone who supported the event and made this possible!

Got all that? Good. Now onto the biggest question of all…
What are you toasting to this New Year?

Cheers to another year of wonderful wines and valued visitors, and our cherished community. Thank you all for being a part of our journey. Here’s to seeing you all in 2025!
