Wine Tasting in Anderson Valley

Anderson Valley is one of the great grape growing areas in California. What was once large parcels of land supporting cattle and sheep are now being developed into vineyards. As you pass along highway 128 you will see new and old vineyards in the valley and on the hillsides. There are just as many tucked behind the hills out of site. Many of these grapes are sold to wineries outside of the valley to enhance that winery's product.

At last count there were 31 wineries in the valley, 28 of which have tasting rooms and two which serve superior champagne. A few tasting rooms charge a few bucks to taste but will deduct the tasting amount from any purchase. All of the tasting rooms have entrances along highway 128.

You will pass through three appellations as you travel through the area. Traveling west on Hwy 128 you will enter the "Yorkville Highlands" as you cross into Mendocino County at mile marker 50. At mile marker 33.89 you will enter the "Anderson Valley" appellation. The "Mendocino Ridge" appellation is on the ridge tops along both sides of highway 128. The difference is weather, elevation and soil types. Yorkville is at 945 feet and the valley floor at Boonville is 375 feet (asl). The higher elevation of the Yorkvillle area produces a significantly different quality grape than the valley floor. The three wineries that offer tastings in the Yorkville appellation are Yorkville Cellars, Maple Creek Vineyards and Meyer Family Winery.


There is a wine touring service,  Vintage Vine Tour.

The following table lists wineries that have tasting rooms.
Most tasting rooms are open 11-5 daily.
