About Occidental Road Cellars
Occidental Road Cellars is a small family label from the western edge of the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County, California. The family has farmed the land for four generations, and the name comes from the road itself: as the winery puts it, Occidental Road has always been the way its harvest left the property and always the way home. The estate vineyard sits on a rolling ridge near Occidental with a southern aspect and long views over the hills beyond, and the stated ambition is simply to make the finest ultra premium wines the site will give.
The wines are made in small artisanal batches with a stated bias toward quality over volume, drawn from that family vineyard in the fog influenced west county fruit belt. The visitor side is modest rather than grand: Sonoma County's tourism listing puts the tasting room at 870 Gravenstein Highway North in Sebastopol, open Thursday through Monday from 11 am to 5 pm, with a $5 tasting fee for non wine club members that is waived with a retail purchase. Another directory reports narrower Friday to Sunday noon to 5 pm hours, which is one more reason to call first.
Sebastopol makes an easy base, and the Gravenstein Highway address puts the room on the main road between Santa Rosa and the coast rather than up a vineyard lane. The phone reported for the tasting room is 707-827-3327. One caution: the occidentalroadcellars.com domain currently resolves to a registrar parking page rather than a working website, so the operation's current status is not settled by its own site. Please confirm that the tasting room is open, along with hours, fees and whether an appointment is needed, before you drive out.

"Occidental Road works the Gravenstein Highway edge of Occidental: the small producer bottles west-county Pinot and kin from a low-profile facility, its name mapping the fog-country roads its fruit calls home."
