We got a great deal at the Inn at the Tides in Bodega Bay for February, and I'm looking for suggestions/recommendations for wineries to visit in the Russian River area. Thanks.

Forestville is fairly close to Bodega Bay- check area map.
also little village of Occidental has great restaurants and a teriffic bakery

Lots of wineries in and around Healdsburg, it is over on 101 but maybe further than you want to drive???

Check out this map http://www.wineroad.com/maps/rriver.asp as you roll over each wineries with your mouse you can click on it and go to a web site. I personally love the following:

Foppiano
Kendall Jackson
Hop Kiln

If you want to go a little further to Healdsburg there are a bunch of really great wineries. My favorites are
F. Teldeschi Winery
Ferrari-Carano Vineyards & Winery

Good luck.

Thanks for the recommendations...especially the wineroads website. It's great and will be really helpful.

Grasshopper

Davis Bynum is one of my favorites. Also Hop Kiln but that's getting pretty close to Healdsburg. Korbel is always a fun tour and tasting opportunity.

The Tides is a great place. Have a wonderful time!
