The Wines of Russian River

The Russian River Valley, one of the United States' top-ranked wine regions, is located at the heart of Sonoma County, California. It is one of California's coolest and foggiest regions, creating a perfect climate for producing highly acclaimed wines from pinot noir and chardonnay! It is sometimes called the little “Burgundy of America”. The Russian River Valley’s viticultural history dates back to the 19th century, with the arrival of European settlers. The region takes its name from the Russian settlers who established Fort Ross on the Sonoma Coast in the early 19th century. The establishment of the Russian River Valley American Viticultural Area (AVA) in 1983 marked a significant milestone, formally recognizing the area’s unique growing conditions. Tonight, we’ll taste some of the region’s classics!
