Wine Taste in Anderson Valley

Anderson Valley's land of pinot noir has an outstanding reputation for premium wines, and yes, it's the good stuff. From family-run vineyards that are low-key to slightly fancier options, here are few to try: Toulouse Vineyards is set on a hillside in the heart of Anderson Valley, with a small tasting room and a beautiful patio overlooking the valley, ideal for sipping their signature pinots. Navarro Vineyards is the valley grandfather, growing outstanding pinot noir grapes in the valley since the early '70s (if you can, taste the dry white edelzwicker).

Walk among the vines at Husch Vineyards, another valley pioneer, where it takes about twenty minutes to do a self-guided tour of the grounds (pictured), seeing a small redwood grove and checking out the grapes that produce their famous gewürztraminers and chardonnays.

At Goldeneye you'll pay more for a tasting, but the wines deliver and the setting is stunning.
