Why we love the Redwoods and Why you will, too<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Coastal Redwood trees are some of the oldest and tallest trees in the world. When you walk in a Redwood Forest, magic will happen. Look up and see the majesty of these trees. One of the most remarkable attributes of these trees is their resiliency. They can withstand fires, smoke, floods, insects, and more. Their intricate root structures help other trees and plant life in the forest. When you walk in a Redwood Forest, you can feel the trees’ resiliency, strength, and perseverance. These are the attributes that we want in ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why vineyards thrive where Redwood Trees are living<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not all vineyard varieties grow alongside Redwoods, just those that like the same type of climate as the Redwoods: Grapes like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Alsatian grapes. These are cool-climate grapes that love the environment of fog, cooling breezes, and moderate temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Anderson Valley in Mendocino County is one of our favorite wine country destinations. We prefer it over Napa Valley or Sonoma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the Golden Gate Bridge, a car ride is about 2 hours. A good stop on the way for lunch in Healdsburg (70 miles) is the Healdsburg Bar & Grill<\/a>. Rather than stopping for lunch, we prefer stocking up with picnic food at Big John’s Market <\/a>in Healdsburg. We leave early from our Peninsula home and get to our favorite Anderson Valley winery at about 1 pm. The Anderson Valley is on Highway 128.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why you should go to the Anderson Valley Wine Country and not Napa Valley or Sonoma<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
