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

                                               Glen Putnam - Reno Air Approach 
Applewood is blessed to have as neighbors the 120+ 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.
