Winter WINEland
Northern Sonoma County's January cure for winter doldrums — Alexander, Dry Creek, and Russian River Valley wineries open their doors mid-winter for tastings during the quietest, most intimate time of the wine country calendar. With far fewer visitors than summer or harvest season, this is when you get real winery-owner conversation time and occasionally tastings from barrels still aging.
