Come celebrate with us !
A Taste of Redwood Valley invites old friends and new to join us for our three annual festivals in northern California's Mendocino County.
Most of our wineries are too small to keep regular tasting room hours, so this is a rare opportunity to taste the wines and catch a behind-the-scenes glimpse of our small producers. Redwood Valley is in Mendocino County, a little more than two hours from both San Francisco and I-5.
Our next event... JUNE 15-17, 2012 You may order tickets online or purchase them at the event.

21st Annual
Father's Day Dinner & Tasting Weekend
Friday, Saturday, Sunday -
June 15-17, 2012
In Celebration of the 21st year of holding "A Taste of Redwood Valley" the event has been reconfigured to give you a true wine
weekend experience.
This year, the eight wineries and a brandy distillery of Redwood Valley are offering you
the "Focus on Experience" winemaker dinner on Friday, June 15th, at Frey Vineyards. Your senses will first be awakened when you taste the fine wines
paired with sumptuous hors d'oeuvres while wandering through the raised-bed herb
garden. Under Marie Abranya's instruction, you will experience how wine can even pair
with those heady-smelling plants. Experience the making of fresh, homemade flatbread
baked in an outdoor brick oven and slathered with sundried tomato butter. Next, a lavish buffet prepared from the finest Mendocino County ingredients will be served.
Please peruse the menu below and salivate. At the end of the meal, along with dessert,
guests will be served Germain-Robin brandy, muscat canelli and port.
New this year: Music for enjoyment and dancing will be provided by The Felt Tips,
a local band that makes toes tap anywhere they are playing. This will be part of the
evening you will definitely want to experience.
Then on Saturday & Sunday, visitors can meander along the back roads of Redwood
Valley to each winery and distillery to taste library wines, unusual varietals, small
production lots and experience the fun of tasting right out of the barrel. Guests will
enjoy plentiful offerings of food, live music, and local farmers' market stands. Each
winery is family owned and is unique in its setting, wine and food presentations, and
welcoming ambiance. Visit with the winemaker, vintner or grower, and listen to their
stories, ask technical questions and experience the wines of a truly unique appellation.

Redwood Valley is a beautiful 2-hour drive from both the San Francisco Bay Area and I-5. It is just off Hwy.101 between Ukiah and Willits. Take Hwy 101 north of Ukiah to West Road (exit #557), show up at any participating winery, and get a map to all the others. Some are close to 101 and others are tucked deep in our lovely valley. Refer to our Map page for more detailed directions.
