Towering ancient redwoods at Armstrong Woods

Why This Combo Works

Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve is a 15-minute drive from Russian River Valley wineries. So why not do both? Start your day under 300-foot-tall ancient trees, then spend the afternoon sipping Pinot Noir. It's the best of California in one day.

The redwoods ground you. There's something humbling about standing among trees that were alive before Columbus sailed. Then you shift to wine—another form of nature, but refined and celebratory. The contrast is perfect.

Plus, it solves the "wine burnout" problem. By mid-afternoon, even wine lovers get tired of back-to-back tastings. Starting with redwoods keeps the day fresh and varied.
