Explore Superb Wineries...Centrally Located in the Heart of Sonoma County's Wine Country

With more than 260 wineries and vineyards, numerous tasting rooms and extensive acreage devoted to wine grape viticulture, Sonoma has outpaced Napa as the North Bay's leading wine producing region. Windsor is the hub of an area that includes the three largest American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) in the county - the Russian River, Dry Creek and Alexander Valley AVAs - as well as the smaller Chalk Hill appellation to the east and Green Valley AVA to the southwest. Together these vineyards produce 30 wine grape varietals on over 35,000 acres of prime agricultural land. There are 30 wineries and vineyards within five miles of Windsor along a picturesque drive that takes you from town through the rural countryside.
