The Best Wineries and Restaurants in Russian River Valley | Eater SF
"The food truck of celebrity chefs and also downright cool people Duskie Estes and John Stewart of Zazu restaurant (now closed), the Black Piglet features their award-winning pasture-raised pork, which cures for some three weeks with brown sugar before finishing with a 12-hour applewood smoking. The menu is short, and yet still it’s hard to choose between a BLT with Tabasco aioli or pulled pork with apple slaw and chicharron; when it comes to the kimchi fries and bacon caramel popcorn, might as well try both. Find them Saturdays and Sundays at Davis Family Vineyards all summer long."
Davis Family has a great wine tasting experience, knowledgeable staff, and provides both outdoor and indoor tasting space. We enjoyed conversation with the winemaker Cooper, who for the ones interested can go more in depth about the winemaking and so much more. Come check this place out, you won't be disappointed. Easy rec for my clients! Thanks again!

Do yourself a favor. Go. Get the tasting. They listened to the things we liked and recommended additional tasters and helped us pick two bottles.
The wine is wonderful. Very easy drinkinging.
The atmosphere is beautiful. Next to the river, gorgeous garden, and a bocce ball court!

This family not only has a amazing taste in wines and olive oils. But they are a big hearted family who supports their workers and community. They recently did a raffle for a young lady who is fighting for her life with cancer and was able to donate $8,700 to her family. So if your looking for flavor and love in a bottle this is your best choice

Lovely setting on the Russian River. Our server was delightful and knowledgeable talking about the wines she poured - sparkling, white blend, chardonnay, pinot noir, zinfandel, and a fabulous cab! They were all delicious! Buy a bottle/pp and tasting is complimentary. You wont be disappointed!

A quick stop from the airport, and shouldn't be missed! Great winery and our self-proclaimed "wine nerd" Sheila was amazing and very knowledgable. A family winery, and a refreshing change from the bigger establishments! Will def be back!

Enjoyable wines, but slow service. It's just not the same like before pandemic when you could taste inside the tasting room. The river was fun to see all the kayaks and the wildlife was fun to look at!!
