Forestville

In the heart of the Russian River Valley, where River Road bends north through Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Forestville keeps one of Sonoma's quietest treasures: the Michelin-starred Farmhouse Inn, a country table that has won nearly every award there is. Hartford, Joseph Swan, and Korbel are minutes away, redwood groves and the river closer still. Taste the cool-climate Pinots at their source, dine like it's the only reservation that matters, and let the woods do the rest.
