    DRNK Wines

    A quiet, family-run gem tucked into Sebastopol's Russian River countryside — DRNK Wines is exactly the kind of place you stumble into and end up staying for an extra pour. Boutique, unhurried, and genuinely personal, this is family winemaking with nothing to prove and everything to share.

    Portalupi Wine Co.

    The Portalupi family has been doing things their way in Healdsburg for years, and it shows in every glass — incredible staff, thoughtful food pairings, and a laid-back outdoor vibe that makes you want to cancel your dinner plans. This is the soul of what family-run wine country looks like.

    Oakville Grocery Healdsburg

    A beloved Healdsburg institution perfectly positioned between your Russian River and Dry Creek stops — grab a wood-fired sandwich and a seat on the porch for a quintessential wine country lunch break.

    Passalacqua Winery

    Perched in the heart of Dry Creek Valley, Passalacqua is the kind of family operation where the scenery, the story, and the wine all feel inseparable. Come for the views, stay because someone who actually cares about every bottle is probably pouring it for you.
