BASIC INFORMATION ON THE ALEXANDER

VALLEY WINERIES

Alexander Valley is among the California’s large wine making districts located in Sonoma County. The colluvial and alluvial soils make this region a grape farming zone. With over 12,000 acres of grapes, the Alexander Valley is home to many vineyards that supply the wineries with grapes.

Very stringent measures are put forward to ensure that only the best quality grapes get their way into the wineries. Some wineries are relatively small and cannot afford to have a vineyard such as those that are family owned.

Visiting such wineries requires that an appointment be made prior to the visit, especially if the group is relatively large. In these wineries, there is a variety of activities that take place such as the tours to the vineyards, to the different wineries and the epitome of the visits which is the wine tasting events.

Alexander Valley is a wine tasting hub that allows wine lovers to sip various wines brands from different wineries, assess and judge them based on the quality and strength of the aroma and the texture.

DO’S AND DONUTS WHILE IN ALEXANDER VALLEY WINERIES

Some wineries are relatively small and cannot accommodate a large group of persons in case of an impromptu visit. They, therefore, call upon these individuals to make an appointment for proper arrangement to be made.

Wine tasting is no drinking spree hence; you should emphasize more on the quality and not the quantity. This means that there is no need to visit all the wineries in Alexander Valley in the name of tasting.

Even though wines usually contain small amounts of alcohol, after taking it, one should abide by the rules governing the taking of alcohol. Spitting is not forbidden hence if the group deems it fit you can sip and spit some of the wine.

The only smell in the room should be that of the wine hence any scented cologne or perfume should not find themselves inside the tasting room.

ACTIVITIES DURING YOUR VISIT TO ALEXANDER VALLEY

Cars are not the preferred mode of transportation when taking a detour of the wineries as some destinations are easily missed out and time wasted trying to reverse in case you lose direction.

While in Alexander Valley, ride your bike or rent one through the Geyserville and takes you time to get familiar with the vineyard environment. Take a speed bike or hire a limo and take a detour of all wines located in the town of Healdsburg.

Actually the visit to all wineries will not be necessary unless you are on a drinking spree. Wine, like any other alcoholic beverage, should adhere to the stringent alcohol drinking regulation such as that prohibiting the drinking and driving.

For a memory that will probably never get erased in your mind, take a wine tour using a horse and travel through the many vines at the 7-mile loop to boutique wineries.

One can also travel the wineries via a wine carriage that is usually pulled by two horses. All these are designed to creates a memoir of the best holiday or vacation that you had at Alexander Valley.
