Marimar Estate

Marimar Estate is nestled in the rolling hills of Western Sonoma County, 10 miles from the Pacific and about 50 miles north of San Francisco in the Russian River/Green Valley appellation. You can't miss the two 10-foot metal sculptures of the resident springer spaniels, Chico and Bonita, that stand guard over the vineyard. Organically grown Chardonnays and pinot noirs are specialties. The Catalan farmhouse/winery, open daily 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., is decorated in antiques and objects from Spain. Dogs welcome in outdoor areas.
