“Wrapped in lavender and a glass of chardonnay in sunny Sonoma; Matanzas Creek was incredible!” Sonoma Valley has a vast and diverse terroir. Sandwiched in between the Mayacamas (east) and Sonoma Mountain (west), it extends from the waters of San Pablo Bay to the reaches of the Russian River Valley – just east of Santa Rosa. This allows for a wide range of varietals to be grown here: the temperamental fruit like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grows well in the southern Sonoma Valley and the wine grapes that prefer hot weather, like Cabernet Sauvignon, find the happy place to the north wedged in between the mountains. The soil types range from volcanic, sedimentary to sandy loam which adds to the possibilities when planting grape vines and determining which varieties will be planted. Come do a Sonoma Valley Tour with us and we will help you find those great wineries making the best of the varieties you are looking for.
