Hotels in Windsor

Beneath the radar of Wine Country's tourist trail, Windsor offers a refreshing alternative to its famous neighbors. The Russian River Valley beckons with family-owned tasting rooms where winemakers might pour your flight themselves. Summer evenings bring locals to the Town Green for concerts and farmers markets that feel genuinely communal rather than staged for visitors. La Crema Estate at Saralee's Vineyard provides tastings with vineyard views that rival more crowded destinations. After sampling Pinots, head to Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve where ancient trees create cathedral-like spaces. The Pacific Coast Air Museum offers unexpected aviation history, while small shops around the town square maintain the feeling of a community that hasn't surrendered entirely to tourism.
