The Russian River Valley is “where the fog and sun meet in rainbows,” according to Iron Horse Vineyard’s website.

While part of Sonoma County, its western edge stretches to within 10 miles of the Pacific along a corridor known as the Petaluma Gap that helps draw cool, morning fog over the region that slowly burns off during the day.

This promotes large day-night temperature changes primed for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes.

Both Gary Farrell Winery and Iron Horse Vineyards have been constant fixtures in the RRV for around 40-50 years each.
