Description of Alexander & Dry Creek Valleys Wine Tour :
A Brief History : The name Alexander Valley derives from Cyrus Alexander, a European settler from Pennsylvania who moved and settled down in the future Alexander Valley, back in 1833. After receiving the 48,000 acre Rancho Sotoyome land grant from the Mexican government based in Sonoma, Alexander Cyrus has successfully developed the new Alexander Valley and transformed it into an agricultural region. Alexander Valley is an American Viticultural Area located north of Napa and Sonoma Valleys in Sonoma County. One of the major cities in Alexander Valley is Healdsburg. Alexander valley is located between the City of Santa Rosa in the south and Cloverdale in the North, about 85 miles north of San Francisco. The Russian River flows down the valley through spectacular vineyards surrounded by Taylor and Sonoma Mountains. California Redwood Highway 101 runs through Alexander Valley north south.
This Particular wine growing region is the most beautiful valley of Northern Sonoma County wine valleys. It’s quite possibly California's best wine region kept secret.
Alexander Valley is also the gateway and an escapade for both locals and return customers looking for enjoying small wineries away from the crowded Napa Valley.
