From Redwoods to Sonoma County Vineyards

Cycling from Alexander Valley to Dry Creek and along the Russian Riverthree days never felt so good. Oak-speckled hills. Impeccably manicured vineyards. A blend of farm-town charm and urban sophistication. Lunch alfresco leads to a gourmet dinner. Crisp whites and rich reds. A perfect night's sleep. We just arrived? It already feels like a blissful week.
