Favorite Sonoma Vineyards
Driving through Sonoma's Russian River area's rolling hills is so romantic you might forget to stop and sip the wine. Stop in Sonoma for Ravenswood, than amble on to Jack London's Glen Ellen area and Matanzas Creek, one of the finest Chardonnay vintners in the area. Moving on to the Kenwood district, don't miss Kunde's Zinfandels or Russian River's Hop Kiln, Mazzocco and Kistler vineyards. For more on these wineries, click Sonoma information.
