River Road

A wine’s success begins in the vineyards, and the joy of seeing the famed vineyards where many of Monterey Wine Country’s grapes are grown await those journeying through the River Road Wine Trail. Beautiful mountain ranges, morning fog and comfortable daytime temperature are the setting for friendly tasting rooms that welcome guests to the region. With the first tasting room less than an hour from the Silicon Valley, guests can pack a picnic and a camera as they make memories of a journey through a relaxed, scenic and hassle-free wine country that can include stops to Marilyn Remark Wines, Talbott Vineyards, Pessagno Winery, Manzoni Estate Vineyard, Ray Franscioni Wines, Boekenoogen Vineyards & Winery, Hahn Winery, Wrath Wines, Paraiso Vineyards, Ventana Vineyards, Sycamore Cellars, and Scheid Vineyards. Wine trail signs easily guide visitors along the way through this picturesque trail.
