Dry Creek Valley
Dry Creek Valley is Sonoma County’s oldest and first recognized wine-growing region, established over 40 years ago for the quality and distinctiveness of its many wines. Spanning just 2 miles wide and 16 miles long (from Lake Sonoma to Healdsburg), this small wine country encapsulates the world-famous quality of Sonoma County wines. 150 wineries – from nationally recognized to small, family-owned, artisan wineries – carry the torch today for the region. The Dry Creek General Store is a landmark since 1881 as a haven for a cold beer and deli sandwich. Lytton Manor Vineyard is proud to be a member of the Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley and producing grapes and wine that reflect the quality and heritage of the valley.
“Unlike the hustle and bustle of Napa Valley, Dry Creek Valley offers a more intimate and relaxed wine-tasting experience. You’ll find boutique wineries and hidden gems, where the focus is on quality wines and personal connections rather than large crowds and tour buses.”
