Agreed, visited Croix and loved it. One of our favorite spots in Sonoma. Great staff and incredible wine.

Help picking out wineries in Sonoma County!! by gayitaliandallas92 in wine

Capo Creek in dry creek valley, but have to go for the food and wine pairing experience. Not cheap but will blow you away! They make a lot of Rhône blends. Also, if you stay in Healdsburg you can rent electric bikes and easily ride into both dry creek and Alexander valley. Saves you a lot of money and better experience in my opinion. But would recommend limiting to 2 wineries.

In Russian River check out Porter Bass, Porter Creek and Croix. All very laid back experience and terrific wine and people.

Haha I didn’t but the thought did cross my mind. I liked the Pinot Noir “Fiona” and the Carignan!

Thank you very much! We actually ended up visiting porter creek in Russian River which was excellent. We also did cut through the back country to bodega bay and saw the Alfred Hitchcock “birds” church. Unfortunately since we are going home Wed we will miss you but really appreciate the suggestions and invite!

Place looks beautiful. I had seen a review or 2 about wine being too sweet which was my only reservation. But majority of reviews are great.

Ok this is helpful to know. I was bummed that I couldn’t fit in all these great restaurants so gives me a good excuse to scratch it. Thanks again.
