Mill Creek
   
Vineyards and Winery Established 1974

From San Francisco:

Mill Creek Vineyards and Winery is an easy trip up Hwy. 101, located just outside the small town of Healdsburg. From Hwy. 101 over the Golden Gate Bridge, travel north aproximatly 70 miles. You will pass through the towns of Santa Rosa and Windsor. Take the Central Healdsburg exit. At the second light turn left onto Mill Street. Mill Street quickly becomes Westside Road as it passes under the freeway. After the road crosses a bridge and turns to the left, look for the winery on your right. Look for our sign!

From Oregon:

Travel south on Hwy 101 until you reach the Central Healdsburg exit. After you exit the freeway, turn right onto Westside Road. After the road crosses a bridge and turns to the left, look for the winery on your right. Look for our sign!

There are 21 other wineries in the Dry Creek valley alone. A vacation to this section of Sonoma County can be fun for part of a day or an entire week. If you are visiting other wineries, stop by our favorite links page to gather further information.

AND WE ARE OFF - - - AND PICKING!

Friday, August 29, 2008 we started harvest by picking the young-block Sauvignon Blanc. This was exactly one week later than the same block last year. With great numbers, Jeremy is a happy winemaker! Next came the old block of Sauvignon Blanc this morning. The Gewurztraminer will follow in a few days. For you lovers of Gewurztraminer – get the 2008 early, because it is another very short crop. Gewurztraminer is one of those grape varieties that is not reliable in set from year to year. Many varieties, most in fact, seem to be light this year. However, often these years light in fruit are the best in quality. 2008 is still a guesstimate, but so far, it looks like a real winner!

If you want to actually see harvest, come soon. The work in the winery will be persistent until at least Thanksgiving, but the grapes may all be picked by the first of October.
