Recommendations for Russian River area wineries
 

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.

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:<BR><BR>Foppiano<BR>Kendall Jackson<BR>Hop Kiln<BR><BR>If you want to go a little further to Healdsburg there are a bunch of really great wineries. My favorites are<BR>F. Teldeschi Winery<BR>Ferrari-Carano Vineyards &amp; Winery <BR><BR>Good luck.<BR><BR><BR>

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

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.<BR><BR>The Tides is a great place. Have a wonderful time!
