| Dry Creek Wineries |
Sonoma is a valley well-known
for the high-quality wine that is
produced there. It is located to the
north of California and is considered one
of the largest producers of wine. Inside the
Sonoma Valley, we can find the Dry Creek Valley, where the wineries offer not
only fabulous tasting rooms, but also fantastic fields where travelers can take
a tour and enjoy the majestic view.
Surrounded by an incredible
vegetation, the Dry Creek Valley is an area where travelers can enjoy
activities related to the nature. The area is formed by hundreds of wineries
all over the road, carrying a long family tradition. The valley is the home to the
largest number of producers of the Zinfandel wine, famous for its type.
The tradition
The reputation of producing the world class wine that
frames Dry Creek Wineries is antique. The old Zinfandel wine is the most wanted and the most world renown. And the
highest concentration of this type of wine is located in the valleys of Dry
Creek. But those plantations are home for other renowned wines such as the
Bordeaux and the Rhone.
The winery production owes part of its success to being a familiar
business, where visitors meet the owner and him with all the experience and
knowledge explaining and helping visitors with the tasting rooms on the tours in
the winery. Visitors and wine
lovers can find the plenitude inside those rooms, tasting from first hand those
marvelous flavors. The sight of the place completes the experience for
visitors enjoying the endless fields of the best grapes.
The wine is just one of the benefits of visiting in the zone, the best
gourmet food is served by the hand of
greatest chefs that teach to visitors the best way of enjoying and taste the
wine at an eating time. The
most delicate mixtures between wine and food take place in that valley.
The plantations
With the time, the Valley
producers have learned to improve the farming procedures and produce the
necessary wine grapes to produce a premium wine. The sustainable management
practices of the soil together with the organic production are critical factors on the valley.
The farmers are regularly committed to
the land and the crops to take care of it making of the procedure, a work
handled manually and traditionally, to avoid as much as they can the use of
chemical products on the soil. That way the farmers ensure their production to
be free of any chemical influence that can vary t taste of their wine.
The soil condition varies depending on the area in the
valley. So farmers can take control of procedures and use the one that best defines
the grape and taste they will produce. So specific conditions are applied on
each plantation.
The climate is also a critical
factor in the development of the strains, in that sense the taste of the grapes
of the warmth region is entirely
different from the cold region.
