We've rounded up a list of events we are most excited for this month!
April 1-3 - The Release of Pliny the Younger!
Both Russian River Brewpubs will be open daily from 11 a.m. - 10 p.m., March 21 - April 3. In years past, a line generally starts forming in the early morning hours (5 a.m. - 6 a.m.) particularly on weekends. We are almost always busier on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, sometimes seeing twice as many people as we would on a weekday. Pro-tip: come Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday to minimize your wait to get in. Evenings, especially in Windsor, tend to taper off.
April 5 - Cloverdale Wine Walk
The first Saturday of each month, from October through May, features local businesses pairing with very local wineries. Guests enjoy lunch, which is included with the price of your ticket. There are also tickets at a lower cost ($20) for designated drivers. Your designated driver can still enjoy lunch and the stroll through downtown. Many businesses also feature baked specialties, other foods and music. Join us!
