About Russian Hill Estate Vineyards
Russian Hill Estate Vineyards is one of the most consistently recommended estate experiences in the Windsor area of Russian River Valley. Expedia travel guides and Porter Creek visitors' nearby attraction lists specifically highlight Russian Hill Estate as a worthwhile tasting destination in Windsor, one of the less-trafficked but genuinely rewarding stretches of the RRV wine corridor.
Founded in 1997 by Ed and Susan Gomiero, the estate farms sustainably on their hilltop Windsor property, producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from their own vineyards alongside carefully selected RRV vineyard sources. The hilltop setting provides panoramic views of the Russian River Valley that rival more famous estates on Westside Road.
The warm, family-oriented tasting experience and dog-friendly policy make Russian Hill one of the most welcoming estate tastings in Windsor, a genuine discovery for visitors who venture beyond the Healdsburg corridor.
At its Windsor, Sonoma County location, Russian Hill Estate Vineyards presents a featured lineup that includes Estate Pinot Noir, Ellen's Block Pinot Noir, Estate Chardonnay, and Syrah. Together, these bottles provide a focused introduction to the varieties, vineyard sources, and style that define the winery's current portfolio.
