Matanzas Creek Winery: Breathtaking Views and Flavorful Wines in Sonoma County
February 19, 2013 | sack
Visitors to Matanzas Creek Winery in Santa Rosa notice the extensive lavender fields surrounding the vineyards before they even set foot on the property. Founded in 1977, Matanzas Creek sits aside three picturesque mountain peaks and provides scenic views of the surrounding valley. The land is home to the aforementioned lavender fields, vineyards, as well as olive trees, native grasses, and exotic perennials. Visitors comment that the overall effect of the landscaping will take your breath away, and they note that if you visit during the June lavender harvest, you’ll also enjoy the fragrant atmosphere enveloping the property. However, most visitors have wine tasting as their primary goal, and the winery’s tasting room is open daily to the public, offering tastes of the winery’s 9 varieties of red, white, and dessert wines. Additionally, the winery hosts open houses and Wine Club events throughout the year, so be sure to check for special events before your visit!
