ANDERSON VALLEY
Rich History
and Rich Soil
Anderson Valley is a hidden treasure of pasto- ral 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,
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.
