Renowned for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vintages, the Russian River Valley is one of the most accessible and exciting wine regions to explore, especially when you have a great guide. This area is one of our favorite appellations because it produces amazing wine while also being breathtakingly scenic: two-lane roads winding their way past quaint wineries and homes that are simultaneously bucolic, pastoral and lovely. If you’re looking for some of the most highly-regarded producers of Pinot Noir in the country, this is the destination for you.
