Russian River Valley

World-class Pinot Noir in the fog belt

About

Why Visit Russian River Valley?

The Russian River Valley AVA is one of the most celebrated Pinot Noir regions in the world. Marine fog rolls in from the Pacific each afternoon, creating ideal conditions for slow-ripening Burgundian varieties. The redwood-lined river towns of Guerneville and Forestville add a bohemian charm.

Highlight

The best Pinot Noir in California, redwood forests, the Russian River, and a laid-back bohemian vibe.
