About Dry Creek Valley
This small, idyllic sub-region of Sonoma County, about an hour north of the Golden Gate Bridge, has been growing wine since about the time of the Gold Rush. The district boasts well-drained soils and an ideal balance of coastal and inland influences for ripening Zinfandel to perfection. It’s also a highly-regarded home for Bordeaux varieties, Rhone varieties and Sauvignon Blanc.
