Christopher Creek Winery – Russian River Valley
Christopher Creek Winery is just south of Healdsburg in the Russian River Valley. It is a small family owned winery with a tiny and rustic tasting room. We’ve found that the family and staff are a delight to be with and very helpful.

The picnic area is basically in the parking lot and would not be our first choice for a picnic. Too bad because the setting is nice with beautiful hills to the east and a view of the Russian River Valley.
Christopher Creek has a nice selection of affordable wines. This is one of those few wineries where we see many cases going out the door.
One of our purchases was their 2005 Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This is not a robust Cab. Everything about it was soft but not timid or dead. There is good nose upfront, a pleasant body with cherry, and a finish that didn’t fade away too fast. We found all their wines to be very drinkable and a very good value.
