Russian River Vineyard

Russian River Vineyards is a winery located in the heart of the Russian River Valley, with roots dating back to the 1890s. The winery produces award-winning wines while maintaining a strong connection to its farming heritage. Winemaker Giovanni Balistreri, under the guidance of Anthony Austin, took over the estate in 2008 and has since focused on reclaiming its rich history and potential. Russian River Vineyards is known for its Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays, particularly through its Austin Collection, a limited-production blend of wines from both Austin Estate Vineyards and Balistreri Family Vineyards. The winery also produces the Chester. brand, which donates a portion of its proceeds to animal rescue organizations in honor of their beloved winery dog. Visitors can enjoy tastings on weekends, with Happy Hour offered on Thursdays, and explore the winery's wine club membership options for exclusive access to member-only wines and events. The atmosphere at Russian River Vineyards is described as welcoming and warm, making it a great destination for those looking to experience the beauty of the Russian River Valley while enjoying exceptional wines.
