June is a terrific month to visit the Dry Creek Valley.  After an early wet winter and an unusually cold and windy spring, we’ve finally hit our stride with some superb days of summer sunshine.  Our gardens are in full bloom and ready for all your picnicking plans.  Across the street from us, the Dry Creek General store offers terrific sandwiches, cheeses, meats and other nibbles to stock your picnic basket. We’ve got an excellent assortment of wines for outdoor sipping – from 2006 Chenin Blanc to our just released 2006 Heritage Zinfandel.  Plan your weekend getaway now and be sure to include us in your next visit to wine country!

Visit us daily from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.  For directions and more information on our winery, visit www.drycreekvineyard.com.

Family. Friends. Food.  The 4^th of a July is a classic American holiday with a rich tradition of backyard barbecue fare and fireworks.  Make some fireworks of your own with one of our delicious wines! 

Our Chenin Blanc is a great starter wine.  We recommend serving it well chilled with some oysters on the half shell - the perfect afternoon sipping delight!  Of course, our signature Fumé Blanc or Russian River Chardonnay also makes for easy swirling and enjoying.  On the red side, our Zins and Cabs pair beautifully with anything barbecued.
