Things to do / Travel Guide
Ahh, California. Pretty much wherever you go in the region, you'll encounter vineyards and winemakers plying their trade. The northern California coast boasts a particularly bountiful wine area - Mendocino. Surrounding this artsy town of James Dean fame, you'll find dozens of boutiques, and hundreds of individual vineyards in the valleys near the shore.
The wineries in Mendocino's nearby valleys - Ukiah Valley, Redwood Valley, McDowell Valley, and Anderson Valley, among others - pride themselves in their strictly organic methods of grape growing. The use of herbicides and pesticides is frowned upon, and everyone agrees these preferences make for better wines.
All in all, when it comes to wines, you've got Napa, Sonoma, and a few others. Among the few others, Mendocino is at the top of the list. Great coastal air, rolling vineyards, friendly vintners - there's no better way to enjoy the fruit of the vine.
