Wine Tasting

Applewood is blessed to have as neighbors the 75+ wineries that comprise the Russian River Wine Road, winding   from the Pacific Ocean and the redwoods of the Russian River Valley to the benchlands  of Dry Creek Valley and the rolling hills of the Alexander Valley. An area full of history,  grapes have been grown and wine has been made in northwest Sonoma County for over  130 years.

Venture just a bit further down the road and visit neighboring Napa Valley or turn North to discover the wines of Mendocino's Anderson Valley but be sure to make it back in time for dinner at the inn, a splendid end to a perfect day in the Wine Country.

"If a bottle of wine was purchased at every winery within a half-hour drive (of Applewood Inn),
a visitor would have an impressive cellar of outstanding vintages."
