Part of the Russian River Valley appellation, Sapphire Hills is one of the area's boutique wineries. Its small, light-filled tasting room is next door to the harvesting facility. During harvest the rich aroma of the fruit of the vine envelops visitors who are sampling wines in the next room, making for a unique viticulture experience. Those who miss visiting during the "Crush" can still view Sapphire Hill's wine-making facility while sipping one of its award-winning varietals.
