How we work in Russian River AVAs (Forestville, Sebastopol)

Our practice in Sonoma, applied to Russian River AVAs (Forestville, Sebastopol).

Sonoma County is roughly four times Napa's land area with a fraction of its trophy-asset pricing — which is exactly why it's emerged as the most active luxury wine-country market over the past five years. The luxury tier here ($4M–$20M) overlaps with Napa's mid-tier; what shifts is character. Sonoma houses tend to be ranches, not chateaus.

We serve Sonoma from the NorCal satellite with weekly Healdsburg travel during active projects. The cultural center has shifted decisively to Healdsburg over the past decade — Single Thread, Little Saint, and the SHED economy created a culinary gravity that now pulls residential demand and tasting-room investment with it.
