In Dry Creek Valley, California, vineyards blanket the landscape, and nearly every road seems to lead to a world-class winery. With so many tasting rooms to explore, where do you start? My road trip through Sonoma County, near Nappa Valley Wine Country, was a chance to experience the region’s rich wine culture in an easygoing, accessible way. I’m excited to share some of the hidden gems in Sonoma County I uncovered along the way—each with its own unique allure and story.
