A Wine Country Beauty

The town of Windsor is situated in Russian River Valley in Northern Sonoma County. Originally settled in 1855, the town is one of the oldest wine-growing regions in the state and was named by a pony express rider who compared the town’s bucolic scenery to the land around Windsor Castle in England. Today, visitors continue to be drawn to Windsor’s pastoral beauty as well as the abundant wineries in the region.
