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... February 11, 2012

You may order tickets online or purchase them at the event.

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.
