Our suggestions on where to taste, where to eat, and what to do
Healdsburg Area
44 | Wine Country Guide >>www.winecountryguide.com
As the Russian River twists and turns her
way out to the Paciic, valleys and gentle
hillsides an out on both sides. Her banks
are strewn with sandy beaches, redwood
orests, and vineyards o every description.
he river has carved three valleys o major
winemaking signiicance: Alexander, Dr y
Creek, and Russian River. hrough these
valleys dozens o wineries rise out o the sea
o vines, presenting visitors with a balingarray o places to explore and tastes to savor.
We suggest you explore the three valleys
starting rom Healdsburgwinery central
or northern Sonoma County and the hub
o the three-valley area. Framed by the
Alexander Valley to the northeast, the Dry
Creek Valley to the northwest, and Chalk
Hill and Knights Valley to the southeast,
its no wonder the grapes and wine make
the towns wheels go round. he heart o
Healdsburg is a shady park, known as the
Plaza, surrounded by inns, restaurants,
and shops. here are gourmet delis, too, i
you choose to picnic right there or want to
provision a vineyard outing.
Dry Creek ValleyNear the Mendocino County border, about
10 miles northwest o Healdsburg, the Warm
Springs Dam holds back the waters o Dry
Creek, orming serpentine Lake Sonoma.
From the dam, you get a birds eye view
o the valley that rolls out in ront o you.
he dam was built by the Army Corps o
Engineers in the 1980s primarily to orm

and, while scenic and serviceable, it is
not a particularly good road. I you ollow
Westside all the way to its end, you will ind
yoursel at River Road about three miles
west o Wohler.
he character o the Russian RiverValley is a bit dierent north to south. he
northern reach has much more o a Dry
Creek Valley eel. Up north the wineries are
generally larger, newer, and perhaps a little
lashier than in the south, which has a more
rustic eel.
On the map, the southern Russian River
Valley is a large area with irregular shapethat is somewhat wider than it is tall. It is
bounded on the north by River Road, which
becomes Old River Road near Guerneville;
and on the south by state Highway 12, which
becomes Sebastopol Road and then the
Bodega Highway as it runs east to west. On
the west, the Bohemian Highway shapes
the area, running rom near Guerneville
southeast to Freestone. Highway 101 orms
the eastern boundary.
State Highway 116 runs diagonally
through the southern valley, rom
Guerneville in the northwest to Sebastopol
in the southeast. Other important roads
are Mirabel Road, which connects River
Road and Highway 116; Guerneville Road
connecting Highway 101 and Highway 116;
and Olivet Road connecting River Road and
Guerneville Road. All along this skeleton
o roadways and many smaller roads
branching rom it are a myriad o wineries
where you can taste Pinot Noir, Zinandel,
and other wines produced in the Russian
River Valley appellation.
he major towns youll want to consider
visiting in the southern Russian River Valley
are Sebastopol, Graton, Guerneville, and
Occidental. Forestville is also important
because it is home to some good wineries
and is located at the junction o Mirabel
Road and Highway 116.
In Sebastopol, you can enjoy an easy stroll
along Main Street to take in antique, art,
and book shops among other homegrown
stores and restaurants that somehow
are only ound in small towns. Youll ind
the Sebastopol natives to be riendly and
welcoming i a bit quirky. Nonconormityis the norm among many locals in this
unabashedly authentic and American small
town.
he hamlet o Graton is essentially a wide
spot in Graton Road just west o Highway
116 near its intersection with Guerneville
Road and about our miles northwest oSebastopol. ake a ew minutes to walk
the downtown area, occupying just a
couple o blocks along Graton Road. Youll
ind surprising touches o sophistication
including good restaurants and interesting
shops.
I youve stopped in Graton, you might as
well continue on along Graton Road about
six miles to the southwest to Occidental.
Yet another micro-town, Occidental
seems impossibly cute, but is remarkably
authentic. Here again you will ind good
restaurants and many interesting shops
to browse. From Occidental, you can head
north along the Bohemian Highway toGuerneville or go south to Freestone where
you can pick up the Sebastopol Highway
(Highway 12) back toward Sebastopol. Or,
you can just go back to Highway 116 the way
you came.
Guerneville is about 12 miles to the
northwest o Graton along Highway 116, andabout 15 miles to the north o Occidental
along the Bohemian Highway route. During
the warmer months, which can be seven or
eight months in the Wine Country, it is the
ocal point o much activity or visitors to
the many rustic resorts along the Russian
River.
