Wineries / Breweries, Santa Rosa
Fodor's Review:
The visitor center at beautiful Matanzas Creek Winery sets itself apart with an understated Japanese aesthetic, with a tranquil fountain and a koi pond. Best of all, huge windows overlook a vast field of lavender plants. The best time to visit is in June, when the lavender blooms and perfumes the air. The winery specializes in three varietals -- sauvignon blanc, merlot, and chardonnay -- though in 2005 they also started producing a popular dry rosé. After you taste the wines, ask for the self-guided garden-tour book before taking a stroll.
