The Napa Valley is generally regarded

as Americas most famous and most

prestigious wine producing region. Exceptduring peak traffic times, it is an easy hoursdrive to the northeast from San Francisco

or to the southwest from Sacramento. he

Valley runs approximately north-south for

some 30 miles. Its width ranges from about

a mile at its northern end to about five miles

at its widest point near its southern end. It

is framed by the Mayacamas Mountains onits western and northern sides, by the Vaca

Mountains to the east, and by San Pablo Bay

to the south.

From north to south, the principal towns

of the Napa Valley are Calistoga, St. Helena,

Yountville, and the town of Napa. BetweenSt. Helena and Yountville, the hamlets of

Rutherford and Oakville are important

grape growing and winemaking centers.

South of the town of Napa, AmericanCanyon is significant as a commercialcenter and as the second largest town in

Napa County (after the town of Napa). he

Napa Valley is home to over 400 wineries,

some of the best restaurants in the United

hanks in part to an abundance ofnatural beauty, and in part to stringent

efforts to preserve both the beauty and

the agricultural heritage of the region, the

Napa Valley remains largely unspoiled by

its success and notoriety as a wine tourism

forests, and vineyards of every description.

he river has carved three valleys of major

winemaking significance: Alexander, Dr y

Creek, and Russian River. hrough these

valleys dozens of wineries rise out of the sea

of vines, presenting visitors with a bafflingarray of places to explore and tastes to savor.

We suggest you explore the three valleys

starting from Healdsburgwinery central

for northern Sonoma County and the hub

of 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 of

Healdsburg is a shady park, known as the

Plaza, surrounded by inns, restaurants,

and shops. here are gourmet delis, too, if

you choose to picnic right there or want to

provision a vineyard outing.

Dry Creek ValleyNear the Mendocino County border, about

10 miles northwest of Healdsburg, the Warm

Springs Dam holds back the waters of Dry

Creek, forming serpentine Lake Sonoma.

From the dam, you get a birds eye view

of the valley that rolls out in front of you.

he dam was built by the Army Corps of

Engineers in the 1980s primarily to form

and, while scenic and serviceable, it is

not a particularly good road. If you follow

Westside all the way to its end, you will find

yourself at River Road about three miles

west of Wohler.

he character of the Russian RiverValley is a bit different north to south. he

northern reach has much more of a Dry

Creek Valley feel. Up north the wineries are

generally larger, newer, and perhaps a little

flashier than in the south, which has a more

rustic feel.

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 from near Guerneville

southeast to Freestone. Highway 101 forms

the eastern boundary.

State Highway 116 runs diagonally

through the southern valley, from

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

of roadways and many smaller roads

branching from it are a myriad of wineries

where you can taste Pinot Noir, Zinfandel,

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 of 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 found in small towns. Youll find

the Sebastopol natives to be friendly and

welcoming if a bit quirky. Nonconformityis the norm among many locals in this

unabashedly authentic and American small

town.

he hamlet of Graton is essentially a wide

spot in Graton Road just west of Highway

116 near its intersection with Guerneville

Road and about four miles northwest ofSebastopol. ake a few minutes to walk

the downtown area, occupying just a

couple of blocks along Graton Road. Youll

find surprising touches of sophistication

including good restaurants and interesting

shops.

If 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 find good

restaurants and many interesting shops

to browse. From Occidental, you can head

north along the Bohemian Highway to

Guerneville 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 of Graton along Highway 116, andabout 15 miles to the north of Occidental

along the Bohemian Highway route. During

the warmer months, which can be seven or

eight months in the Wine Country, it is the

focal point of much activity for visitors to

the many rustic resorts along the Russian

River.

Sonoma Valley, also known as the Valley

of the Moon, is about an hours drive

north of San Francisco and about a half-

hours drive from either the Sonoma County

Airport to the northwest or the town ofNapa to the east. Some 17 miles in length,the valley is bounded by the outskirts of

Santa Rosa on the north, San Pablo Bay on

the south, the Mayacamas Mountains to

the west, and the Sonoma Mountains to the

east.

Home to about 75 wineries, Sonoma

Valley i s a complete wine touri smdestination unto itself. Its three principal

townsKenwood, Glen Ellen and the

town of Sonomafeature excellent

B&B and full-service hotel (including

spa) accommodations as well as many

restaurants highly regarded for casualand fine dining. Sonoma Valley is the

birthplace of the California wine industry

with vineyards dating to the early 1800s.

he regions winemaking reputation is built

on robust red wines including Cabernet

Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Meritage blends,

among others. But Sonoma Valley vintnersproduce over 25 varieties of wine in all, sono matter what your palates preference you

are likely to find wines that please here.

ravel-Wise ip: Sonoma Valley and the

Healdsburg area (including Alexander,

Dry Creek and Russian River valleys) are

the main wine regions of Sonoma County.

From the town of Sonoma to Healdsburgis about 40 miles and, in usual driving

conditions, driving time is about an hour.

While it is certainly possible to tour the

Healdsburg area through day trips from a

base in Sonoma Valley, it is not advisable. It

is far better to devote two or three days toeach area and to reserve accommodations

close to where youll be touring. Visiting

If you want to be treated like royalty, visitLedson Winery and Vineyards in Kenwood.

he 16,000 square foot French-Normandy

winery referred to as he Castle, sits

majestically behind its estate vineyard.

Steve Ledson adopted his passion for

growing grapes from his father, grandfather

and great-grandfather. He originally built

he Castle as his private home, but when it

began to draw much attention from locals

and tourists alike, he decided he wanted more

privacy. In 1999 he opened the doors to the

public and created one of the most unique

and dynamic wineries

anywhere in the country.

Upon arrival, a well-

informed concierge will

guide guests over elegant

hardwood floors to one of

the four cozy and classy tasting salons. On

warm spring and summer days, the doors

are left wide open. After tasting, you may be

tempted to stroll through the gardens. You can

also visit the Gourmet Marketplace and select

among fine cheeses from around the world,

meats, pastas, salads and sinfully decadent

desserts. While enjoying your favorite Ledson

wine, you can picnic beneath century-old oak

trees.

All Ledson wines are handcrafted in small

production lots and many sell out before

the next vintage is ready to go to market. A

great way to avoid disappoint is to join one of

Ledsons four wine clubs. Members receive two

bottles or a case of wine with each shipment

and you choose the wines you prefer: white

only, red only, Zinfandel only, or a mix.

Club members are treated to private parties

throughout the year and enjoy preferred

pricing at additional events.

Ledson Winery also provides a unique and

romantic setting for a fairytale wedding. he

Castles dramatic circular driveway and arched

carriage entryway, water fountains, and grand

staircase create the perfect background for

exchanging nuptials like royalty. And the

stunning visuals make for a magnificent

wedding album.

o enhance the Ledson experience, there

is the luxurious Ledson Hotel & Centre du

Vin on the historic Sonoma Plaza. Named

by Conde Nast raveler as One of the 100

hottest new hotels around the globe, one of

the top 18 hotels in the US,

and one of the only 2 hotels

in California, the hotel

features six individuallydecorated guest rooms,

furnished in antique grandeur blended with

the finest modern comforts. he French

Bistro, open from 11:30 am, serves fine wines,

sparklers, beer and cocktails with delicious

French cuisine made from local ingredients.

Centre du Vin features wine tasting as wellas handcrafted cocktails at the beautiful

and welcoming bar. As a bonus, there is

outside seating where you can watch the

world go by on the Plaza. he Hotel also

features incredible live music events on most

weekends.

For hotel reservations log on to www.ledsonhotel.com or call 707-996-9779. he

concierge will be happy to assist with your

Lake County

Just a half hour north of the Napa

Valley and Mendocino County wineries

are the wine regions of Lake County. he

relaxed, rural atmosphere and clean aircontribute to the refreshing character of

these unspoiled regions. Well-known as a

vacation and weekend getaway destination,

Lake County is re-establishing its reputation

for producing fine wines.

Wi th an important exception, Lake

Countys wine regions are around Clear

Lake, the large body of water that is themain focus of tourism within the county.

100 miles of shoreline,is Californias largest

natural freshwater lake.

resorts around the lake are

popular spots for rest and

relaxation, family picnics,

miles on highways 29, 20,

and 53. Consult the map
