Rodney Strong Vineyards, located in Healdsburg, California, was founded in 1959 by Sonoma County wine pioneer Rodney D. Strong as the 13th bonded winery in Sonoma County. Today, the winery is privately owned by the Klein family, a fourth generation California agricultural family.
Rodney Strong Vineyards is dedicated to crafting world-class award-winning wines with complexity and varietal expression that capture the essence of Sonoma County. The winery grows and produces wines exclusively from four of Sonoma Countyıs finest appellations -- Russian River Valley, Chalk Hill, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Coast -- and produces year after year some of California's best premium wines, including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Symmetry, a red Meritage wine. The wineryıs twelve unique estate vineyards represent the perfect marriage of varietal selection and terroir. ³All of our wines highlight the stylistic diversity and exceptional quality of Sonoma County, one of the worldıs finest grape-growing regions. Place matters, try ours,² explains Tom Klein, Proprietor.
The winery also takes the ³green² approach to winemaking and day to day operations. Rodney Strong Vineyards stands out among the great California wineries due to its commitment to making good decisions related to the environment and its interaction with the local tourism and business communities. The winery has been recognized as an important contributor to Northern Californiaıs tourism industry when in 2005 it was named ³Winery of the Year² by the California Travel Industry Association.
The Rodney Strong Hospitality Center in Sonoma County serves tens of thousands of visitors annually, providing a truly memorable visit to Californiaıs most important wine region. The beautiful winery and hospitality center offer breathtaking views, exceptional wine tasting, and wonderful picnic facilities. The Hospitality Center is host to many private and community events throughout the year, and during the summer, visitors picnic and listen to concerts on "The Green", a one-quarter acre area of lush, green lawn, trees, and flowers - a memorable setting.
As a responsible and active member of our community, Rodney Strong Vineyards is proud to serve as sponsor and host of the 2nd annual Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County fundraiser
