At the Wineries

As usual, holiday weekends are quite busy with the biggest tasting room crowds on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. The farther north you go and the farther from US101 the smaller the crowds. Some of the more back road areas include the towns of Glen Ellen and Geyserville plus Westside and West Dry Creek Roads.

Harvest activities have begun and if you're lucky you may see grapes being processed.
