A Taste of Rewood Valley

A Taste of Redwood Valley

Tasting, Music, Art & Great Food

Saturday & Sunday 11-5pm
$30 if purchased online
$35 at the door

(designated drivers are free)
Wind your way through our lovely valley at your own pace, discovering each award-winning winery and the distillery that makes the best brandy in the world.

Each day will be filled with delicious food, live music, barrel-tastings, and one-of-a-kind fine arts and crafts.

Just check in at any one of the eight wineries or distillery, receive a map and a complimentary logo-engraved glass. You may also sign up to win one of the lavish baskets of wine and delicacies created by each winery.

Redwood Valley is a beautiful 2-hour drive from both the San Francisco Bay Area and I-5. It is just off Hwy.101 between Ukiah and Willits. Take Hwy 101 north of Ukiah to West Road (exit #557), show up at any participating winery, and get a map to all the others. Some are close to 101 and others are tucked deep in our lovely valley

Second Saturdays in Hopland

Jun 11, 2011


The Second Saturday program has been a huge success. Six Hopland wineries (Cesar Toxqui Cellars, Graziano, Jaxon Keys, McNab Ridge, McFadden and Weibel) become open houses for the second saturday of each month! Rain or shine, all wineries offer complementary seasonal culinary delights, paired with your favorite varietals. All of these wineries run second saturday wine specials, discounts and deals! There's always a few with barrels out, for tasting the wine of the future. These wineries spare no expense and feature vertical tastings of their best wines! Other Hopland wineries participate on and off, so if one of your favorites is not on this list, feel free to contact them to see if they will be involved!

There is no entrance fee or tickets, just show up to any participating winery to start the fun!



Jaxon Keys winery typically hosts music and food from 3-7 pm. Come on by after the rest close up!

McNab Ridge's tasting room has been pouring 2003-2007 CORO verticals!

Graziano has been bringing out the large format bottles (magnums and up) for tasting!

Red Wine Cozy

Sitting home alone. . .Again.


Decided to work on a knitting project that I started a couple of days ago. Its a pattern that I found at http://taras-knits.blogspot.com/ as I wait for my yarn for the Lion Brand Knit-Along Hoodie to come in, hopefully later this week.

I was able to finish the Wine Cozy, and if I may say so myself, did a pretty good job. Although my mind must have been elsewhere as I kept having to redo a number of the rows or it would have been done yesterday.

Decided to send it to a new friend for Valentine's Day - I hope it is liked as it comes from my heart and with a wonderful bottle of Jaxon Keyes Farmhouse Red
I guess I'd better get it in the mail if it'sgoing to make it there in time!!

Hoping everyone is planning on a wonderful Valentine's Day with the one they love - as for me: I will be working, and the one I love is far away - I hope he thinks of me as much as I think of him.
