Photos of the fun:

 At Rodney Strong Vineyards, we are dedicated to Sonoma County. The winery was

 established in 1959 by Rod Strong,   one of the first pioneers of the modern wine
 industry in  California, as the 13th bonded winery in Sonoma County. Since 1989,

 the winery has been privately owned by the Klein family, a fourth  generation California
 agricultural family. Rodney Strong Vineyards  grows and produces wines exclusively

 from four of Sonoma County’s  finest appellations — Russian River Valley,  Chalk Hill, 

 Alexander Valley and Sonoma Coast. The winery’s 12  unique estate vineyards 

 represent the perfect marriage of  varietal selection and terroir. Rodney Strong Vineyards

 is  dedicated to crafting world-class wines with complexity and  varietal expression that

 capture the essence of Sonoma County. In 2005, Rodney Strong Vineyards was named

“Winery of the Year” by the California Travel Industry Association.
