From September 22 to 28, 2025, the heart of Alexander Valley will host its celebrated Wine Week, a seven-day showcase of premium winemaking. Set in northern Sonoma County, this fertile valley lies along the scenic Russian River and boasts more than 40 wineries. The event unfolds across family-run estates, boutique tasting rooms, and picturesque vineyard landscapes. Organized by the Alexander Valley Winegrowers Association, the program includes curated tastings, vineyard lunches, and cellar tours. Nearby, guests can explore Healdsburg’s historic plaza, Francis Ford Coppola Winery, and Jimtown Store, blending cultural heritage with wine country charm.
Alexander Valley Wine Week began as a local harvest celebration and quickly grew into a regional trade and consumer destination. Since its early editions in the 1990s, the event has consistently highlighted the region’s bold Cabernet Sauvignons, elegant Chardonnays, and rising Rhône varietals. Today, it includes vineyard masterclasses, comparative tastings, and culinary pairings. Many experiences feature winemakers and growers directly, fostering personal connections between producers and buyers. Seminars focus on soil, terroir, and sustainable practices, providing insight into the valley’s distinct microclimates and wine styles. Meanwhile, evening receptions and release parties add a celebratory tone to the week.
This signature event offers a hybrid format for both trade and public audiences. Wine importers, distributors, and industry professionals can meet with established and emerging labels in focused tastings and networking lounges. At the same time, passionate consumers can enjoy open-air picnics, grape stomps, and educational walks through vineyard rows. With this balanced format, Alexander Valley Wine Week creates unique opportunities for both professional engagement and authentic wine culture exploration.
