ANDERSON VALLEY:
A Hidden Treasure
ROY DUFRAIN JR.
Anderson Valley is a hidden treasure of pastoral beauty, colorful history and bountiful food and drink. Follow scenic
Highway 128 through the towns of Yorkville, Boonville, Philo
and Navarro, past grazing sheep, orchards and vineyards, and rolling hills studded with oaks.
Mild weather and rich soil make Anderson Valley an excellent
region for growing wine grapes, and a horn of plenty of other
fruits and vegetables.
Along the way, visit the tasting rooms of award-winning
wineries, sample beer at the local brewery, or try some of the local
produce at a roadside stand or one of the valley’s many unique
eateries. Local lodging includes cozy B&B’s, fine inns and resort
cabins. There are some unique shops along the way as well.
Annual events in the valley include Spring’s annual Legendary
Boonville Beer Festival, May’s Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Festival, and September’s Mendocino County Fair and Apple Show.
